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.
Took 'em less than a week to weaponize it. Gotta protect those kids, am I right?

Imagine hating your own poor while serving the needs of a hostile foreign state actor
Didn't even need a Trump, wild.
X declined to comment, but its AI chatbot, Grok, indicated the clip had been restricted under the Online Safety Act due to violent content.
Oh my god... it doesn't work that way!
The chatbot doesn't know who restricted the video or how it was restricted. The chatbot doesn't know anything, it just calculated that based on its training data "Yes the video was restricted due to the Online Safety Act" was a likely answer and then it spit that out.
Not reporting on it kinda lets X have it both ways though. They can curate it to be a spokesperson and default to spreading a certain message to users, but if the media reports on it spreading that message it’s suddenly out of context because it’s just a fancy autocomplete.
So what? Hold Twitter accountable for the lies Grok tells anyway.
I remember ChatGPT telling my dad that his image will be generated any moment now when the app clearly glitched out and didn't give him his 20th Ghibli image of my mum.
People should be aware that the Free Speech Union is run by fuckwit spherical slaphead Toby Young.
Good to know.
This country is sorely in need of a revolution.
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.
