United Kingdom
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.

Cassetteboy wasn't really a form of deepfaking, he took clips of them literally saying the words and then pitch adjusted them, that's all.
Deepfaking is much more involved, and in terms of audio you typically need a voice actor to make a convincing enough copy. People seem to find it harder to recognise AI images than AI sounds.
Trey Parker did a great video on deepfakes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WfZuNceFDM
