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.

Obviously sympathetic to the mothers position here. However, based on my limited understanding of how this stuff works, if content is being viewed on 'the dark web' it likely wouldn't be obvious to internet providers, nor would a kid who's savvy enough to be on the 'the dark web' in the first place be really prevented from finding a work around to any potential block in place.

I'm a parent. This stuff scares the crap out of me, but I'm not sure we can actually legislate this stuff out of existence.

Could be because the other kid was transphobic and she doesn't imagine that a dialogue with his parents would be particularly helpful.
