Speaking to the Politics Hub with Sophy Ridge, Mr Brown advocated for greater regulation of various sectors of the media - and said broadcast regulator Ofcom needs more 'teeth'.
He said:"Well, I criticised Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross when similar remarks were made almost 15 years ago, and it led to changes in the way programmes were done at that time.
"But I think we've got to look very carefully at GB News and all these broadcast companies that are emerging, because we've got a far wider range of broadcasters and the system of regulation is not good enough to cope with it.
"But everybody is influenced by all these social media at the same time, so I think you've got to standardise some of the regulation, and certainly you cannot allow people to appear on air and talk about women in the way that they are doing, without any propriety."I'm not in favour of censorship, but you cannot have this fall in standards and allow it to continue."
