Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The complete article identifies that the platforms, like Facebook, won't deplatform disinformation, even enemy-of-country disinformation, because it is profitable.
They won't comply.
& .. you will notice that the national-governments therefore are .. capitulating to the platforms, .. not wielding any law, any fines, any jailtime, an ANYthing, to coerce platform-compliance with national-law.
So, the "responsible" authorities are "helpless", then, .. while our countries are intentionally misrailed ( not identical with "derailed", but deliberately put on wrong rails ) by Russia: our governments, due to not having any spine, are "unable" to make that stop.
Enjoy the consequences of that, a few years down the road, when Trump has declared open war on NATO ( using Greenland to seal-off & butcher Canada, for his "continental kingdom" ), ditching Europe to Putin's Russia ( China backed, because of how that'll benefit China once Europe is butchered, in a few years .. "The destruction of the West is the midwife of Chinese dominion" )..
it's fucking inevitable, & it's unfolding as blatently/obviously as it can.
WHEN we have no spine to enforce integrity in our own institutions, AND "our" institutions have no spine to enforce integrity in their domains, AND everybody just accommodates the true-enemy-of-our-viability *rewriting our owncountries .. while "wringing their hands", displacing national-integrity..
it is our population that will be butchered, exactly as the Ukrainian population is currently being butchered because we accommodated Russia's invasion, after promising Ukraine that we'd protect them if Russia ever attacked them, when we got Ukraine to give-up their nukes..
Maybe our-race NEEDS to be butchered from existence, so that our souls might, someday, on some other world, have a speck of motivation to have integrity, then, instead of having any now..
The appeasers-of-Hitler certainly made many others pay for their non-responsibility..
Why would this-generation be any different?
This makes me wonder: when Trump's goons are literally murdering people willy-nilly, anybody who won't insta-grovel to their authority's "lordhood", will the Democrats THEN admit that they aren't going to be taking back the US of A through election??
WHAT THE FSCK DEGREE OF EVIDENCE IS REQUIRED TO CAUSE AUTHORITY TO SOMEHOW BEGIN EMBODYING INTEGRITY??
Infinite?
Species-wide DarwinAward's inevitable, then, & this is our kind's final century.
An organism's immune-system only has actual chance of breaking an infection IF IT IS FIGHTING infection.
If it's accommodating, instead-of fighting, then .. there is ZERO chance of breaking the infection, & the pathogen then OWNS the fate of the organism.
This is true of countries, as well as of individual-organisms.
