Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Yeah, that's pretty general. If you'd like to pick a country and a few example cases I'd love to actually be specific. Burden of proof on the prosecution? Can I just say my neighbor said racist shit and they go to jail? Context? Set list of phrases/words? Past precedent and public opinion? Warnings vs fines? Etc?
Pretty sure a lot of these places let a lot of questionable people gather and say a lot of questionable shit publicly without any consequence. Not just the US.
Bro, you haven't even made a fucking point. Get out of here with this fucking bullshit. You obviously can't explain much of anything outside of how you "feel" about these things. You showed your age with the "racism was non-existent", obviously haven't been around for too long. Never used the word extremist, but honestly it's not bad. Yeah, every country has them.
Do me a favor, and try to only reply to comments where you actually have a fucking point. You're gumming up the works for the people looking to have actual discussions.
Fuck you.
And there it is! Glad we could boil it down to your superiority over AmErIcA. Fucking nationalists.
Glad to see the rest of the world is just as fucking stupid as the majority of this country.
You challenged my response, I questioned your stupid premise and asked for actual fact, you couldn't provide (probably due to your laziness, you'd probably fit in better here than you'd like to believe...) a single point of argument except your feelings. Learn what debate and conversation actually resemble, or don't, you'll fit right in with the masses.
Fuck off and get back to class, yah twat.
