A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Yeah i have to agree, banks shouldn't even have the option to just decide to process the money.

Business should not facilitate crime. It’s illegal, as well as immoral.

Private companies should not be independent judges with enforcement powers.

They have no problem censoring legal NSFW content. But when it comes to actual crimes, laissez faire.

They're not independent judges, they have guidelines and tools for illegal practices. They ignore those for rich friends. They ignore them for people that pay them a lot, but they still get in trouble for facilitating money laundering every now and again when those people aren't connected enough.
