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.

Measures like Google Family Link already exist if parents choose to use them.
I don't think legislation restricting what young people can do online would necessarily help. It's illegal for kids to take drugs and drink alcohol yet it still happens. Whatever measures are put in place, there's usually a way around.
Also, who would be held responsible for the child circumventing the restrictions? You can't hold the child responsible, so that would fall to the parent.
Is she accepting responsibility here for not better protecting her child? No, she's blaming others, and telling other people they should take responsibility.
Not that any of this would have made any difference here. These two murderers were absolutely demented, and keeping them off social media wouldn't have done much to prevent that.
