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.

Tor is U.S. jurisdiction kinda so it can't really be blocked or regulated.

People like me have been screaming for the past year or two that all these laws do is push children and other people onto more seedy sites.

How is Tor under US jurisdiction?

"Kinda" as in its maintained by a U.S. nonprofit EFF. The U.S. government also made it but I don't think the current "administration" would be rational about not fucking with it.

Thats cool and all but its completely irrelevant to the operation of the Tor network. Even if the EFF was wiped out of existence, the Tor network would keep running and the code would simply be forked and development would continue...
