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.

Can anyone explain why data breeches appear to increasing and large organizations appear powerless to prevent?
It's a lot multiple factors, opportunity cost, increase of online users due to pandemic, home from work, but biggest one being companies/governments don't care about customer/user data so they they do bare minimum required by law to secure it. Which makes them an easy target. Getting breached is just part of doing business and a lot private companies just pay ransomware and go back to normal business.
I would have thought the Information Commissioners Office UK, would have the power to issue hefty fines. Mind it sounds like those may the consequence of doing business as well. Depressing.
