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.

Oh, I hope it does get banned and Elon Musk charged for facilitation of creation of CSAM..

I hope, I hope, I hope..

I really hope they take into account just how many people HAVE seen the pictures and how many COULD HAVE seen it.

Also the fact that X would have had no filter preventing kids seeing that image, which doesn't just go against revenge porn laws, but also the OSA - which would be the first actual positive of the latter.

Its seems kind of evident that building a machine that makes CSAM would be a crime if any individual did it, so why not a corporation?

If someone who wasn’t inconceivably wealthy had created it then they probably would have been arrested by now.

Idk, Andrew (formerly known as prince) is probably trying to stop them.
