For years, politicians from across the political spectrum insisted the Online Safety Act would focus solely on illegal content without threatening free expression. But from the moment its age-verification duties took effect on 25 July, that reassurance began to unravel.

    And there it is. The unintended consequence that these mf’s definitely intended to happen.

    Want a certain law? Create a problem with that law as the solution. The created problem that is not a problem: oooeeeh ThE chILdreEeennnn…

    Fuckers.

      Archie Battersbee’s mum is part of this as well. She claims her child died of a tiktok challenge. He was found hanging and no phone in sight. I honestly think she’s just in denial of a different circumstance, especially after the whole case of harassing the hospital.

    This country is sorely in need of a revolution.

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.
