UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Yeah totally agree. WhatsApp shouldn't be used by government.
Email can be secure both sides, one side or neither. You can't rely on it being secure.
If it's PGP email, it's as secure as the keys. If the keys can't be kept secure, no system can be kept secure. You email whose public key you have and it requires their private key to read.
Were talking about somebody using their own personal email for work purposes. There's absolutely no assurances on encryption their using. It's a bigger risk than WhatsApp, although I again should say I agree WhatsApp shouldn't be used either. Both options aren't good but for slightly different reasons, in my opinion anyway.
Oh I'm not arguing it's ok to use personal email for government business. I'm saying email can be secured.
