General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

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.

I know a few years ago there was that thing about storing a rolling years history of all the websites each user had visited. Not the specific page but just the domain name.

IIRC there was a discussion on how each ISP would even manage to store such a huge amount of data.

Was this system implemented in the end of was it just one of those ideas that couldn't work in reality?

it was implemented as part of all ISP/Telco’s legal intercept capabilities.

Use Tor, a VPN or a zero trust client like Cloudflare or Perimeter 81 to browse if you don’t want your internet connection records stored by your ISP.
