Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

As she left court she was asked what she had to say to her victim and replied: "Not a lot."
Asked if she was sorry, she said: "No. I never done it."
Reporters asked if she was a "monster", as she stopped to light a cigarette, and she replied: "Say what you think."
What a psychopath
Since being rescued, K is now living with a foster family, attending college and has been on holidays abroad.
Victim is now in her 40s. I'm glad she is getting some semblance of normalcy and love.
I was thinking this. I am so glad someone gave this woman a loving home.
Whenever stories like this emerge I can't help but wonder how many thousands of people are enslaved like this.
In the UK, the lowest guess (from the government) is "more than 10,000". Most anti-slavery charities agree on an estimate of about 120,000 - 130,000 in the UK.
Each year, about 10,000 - 20,000 are newly referred to authorities (and potentially rescued).
Though there's often a perception that it's only foreign workers in the UK that get trapped like this, 25% of those are British nationals.

The Modern Slavery Act 2015: becoming world-leading again (PDF)
Yeah, my mom actually did some work to try and educate truckers about modern slavery, because truckers are often the ones who interact with victims the most. Basically, there is a thriving sex slavery industry in America (and I’m sure in most of the rest of the world), which is propped up by truckers.
Truckers are sort of the perfect John when it comes to sex work. They don’t have any local connections, they don’t have any evening plans, they’re often lonely because they spend lots of time on the road by themselves, and they’ll be leaving town in the morning so you don’t need to worry about them hanging around. So a large part of the sex trafficking industry is actually focused on prostitution for truckers. Truckers call the prostitutes who target truck stops “lot lizards”… And pretty much every trucker has a lot lizard story.
My mom was doing work to try and educate truckers on the signs of sex trafficking and slavery, because oftentimes the lot lizards are sex slaves. People tend to think of slavery as chains and hard labor, but modern slavery tends to use leverage and/or addiction instead. Kidnap a teenage runaway, (or fool her into coming into the country with the promise of a good job), take away her money and ID, force her into doing heroin or meth until she’s hooked, then tell her that she’ll only get her fix after she has fucked enough truckers to earn it. Keep her perpetually broke by charging her for things that she has no way of ever realistically repaying.
One of the modern slavery support charities say that there is more slavery currently than there has ever been in history. But I don't remember where I read this and can't find the source now.
Yeah. These stats obviously depend on how slavery is defined.
And if you're looking at absolute numbers or as a proportion of the total population.
Holy fuck. I hope she gets the book thrown at her. What a despicable human.
I had to stop reading. It’s sickening. What an absolute Trump of a person.
This is my new favorite way to slander really shit people. Thank you.
She'll be a Reform MP in no time.
My first thought on seeing the photo: “Christ, Billy Idol’s looking rough these days”
It better not be a day less than 25 years in prison.
better be a full life term tbh.
Poor lass, that was hard to read. The woman is a cruel monster. Glad one of her children stood up.
Meet the next Reform candidate.
