    Website in question is appykidsco.com. The linked story suggests that the domain has expired and these ads may be common for the webhost. They only appear in mobile mode.

    Edit: it could also be a typo to appykids.com

      If you manage to find an image of the box in high enough resolution it’s appykidsco.com

      Good call on the mobile mode trick. I initially saw the chinese page (that google couldn’t translate so no idea what it was) and there was no porn there.

      This is what it used to look like around the end of 2021: https://web.archive.org/web/20211128200225/https://www.appykidsco.com/

      It died some time in 2022, was a blank page for some time then presumably expired and started showing chinese at the end of august this year (or at least that’s when wayback machine picked it up… the domain entry was last changed in February).

      So the URL wasn’t ‘compromised’ it was abandoned.

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.
