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.

EU Chat control is ridiculous. Anyone with a bit of knowledge can easily set up a snikket instance and get e2ee. Or just do it over regular email with email clients like k9 and openkeychain
One of the main points about chat control is that it forces software developers to break their own encryption or face whatever the penalties will be. It is ridiculous and will hopefully be stopped in it's tracks, unfortunately not enough people know about it, and even of the ones that do, not enough of them understand what it is and how dangerous it is. Basically, the governments have seen how lucrative it has been for the big techs, and how advantageous it can be to control our data. They have seen what the Israeli's have been able to do with that information and tech. They want in. It has nothing to do with child protection. If it passes, all politicians better be squeakier and cleaner than squeaky clean. With their data not being scanned, we will likely have to watch them ourselves.
