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.

That's not what the quote you posted says, it says it tackles that two things, not that it makes them illegal.
It does mention some things that are to be made criminal offences right before this bit though, to trick people into posting such headlines, I suspect.
This whole thing sucks anyway, but I think we could use some clarity on exactly what will be made illegal?
Oh I think you're right actually -- it looks like from the PDF that they will be issued notices

Still, this is the UK, so I claim "slippery slope".
but you'll leave your not-factual headline up?
forgot, fixed, cheers
