Be civil. Disagreements happen, that does not give you the right to personally insult each other.

No racism or bigotry.
-
Posts from sources that aren't known to be incredibly biased for either side of the spectrum are preferred. If this is not an option, you may post from whatever source you have as long as it is relevant to this community.

Post titles should be the same as the article title.
-
No spam, self-promotion, or trolling.
Instance-wide rules always apply.

I bet there are more people who also speak English in India or China alone, but adding in every European country should be a large cherry on top.
While there are a lot of English speakers in India, it is not their native language. News about India will be written for Indians and will tend to use their regional language. Same goes for China and most other countries. Even in the EU where news might be interesting to other EU nations, news is often written in the affected nations language.
