United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Yes but you're essentially complaining about the equivalent of speed cameras and claiming that they're going to be used for monitoring you. Which would only happen if you were driving past them very loudly so just don't do that.
If you get caught speeding you can hardly use the arguement of well the government shouldn't be monitoring me.
You're engaging in the classic slippery slope fallacy. Anything you don't like, all you have to do is claim that it's a step on the way to tyranny and suddenly it's acceptable to oppose it. The same arguement was used to oppose the introduction of seat belts.
