News
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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.

USPS sells this information for mail advertising. If you don't want to be included in that, you can opt out via USPS.
Fill out Form 1500 and drop it by a post office to be removed from ad lists. It's free.
And they wouldn't have to sell ad space if they actually got funding
A kneecap here, a hobbling there... well USPS, you ain't lookin so hot. Might need to cut your funding. Again.
Why the fuck is DeJoy still there again???
Well, the post office is supposed to be self funding.
Its a government service, it should be funded by the taxes we already pay
100%. That is how public services work (for the person you replied to).
I'd rather the post office sell ads than our taxes be increased. Government funding ain't free and if the USPS can't support itself financially at least for the most part then it's incredibly vulnerable to privatization and elimination by Republicans.
They don't need to increase taxes, they need to remove the person trying to cripple the USPS and allow it to be properly funded with the billions already collected every year.
As a postal contractor I don't see any evidence of an effort to cripple the USPS from within.
Form 1500 is involving unwanted sexually oriented mail. How does it stop spam? You have to provide specific mailings you want to stop.
That's like the one piece of mail I may actually look at before throwing out.
Yeah is form 1400 how we sign up for sexually explicit mail?
Best I can do is a sexually explicit male, take him or leave him.
Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.
This is about tracking pixels.
