"social.bbc" wow, I bet absolutely nobody on the internet will view this url and think the site is designed for NSFW activities

You can't fault the British Broadcasting Corporation for making a poor acronym choice back in 1922. Just look at Ayds, the weight reducing diet supplement.

What? If you see that and don't think of the British broadcasting corporation then I'd say that's a you problem.

They're already being accused of being transphobic, even though BBC's research and development has nothing to do with any of that stuff.
