UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

The danger of deepfakes etc is not getting the attention it deserves, and even more concerning is that there aren't any good solutions to these problems. Where do we end up when it becomes impossible to have any trust in audiovisual content?
Meanwhile or politicians are already trying to weaponise it to score cheap points rather than discuss the matter at all.
Nothing will happen this parliament because the current lot are technologically illiterate. I don’t hold out much hope of the next government sorting it either. I think it’s going to take a Major Scandal and probably some kind of inquiry before any legislation gets suggested.
