World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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.

It appears that these countries now have some form of warning associated with travelling to the USA:
Congrats US, not far to go to be on par with Afghanistan and Syria
Dude, stop posting this comment. It is wildly inaccurate. There is no travel advisory from Australia everything is hunky-dory.
Either turn the country names into hyperlinks linking to the travel advisory or stop spreading misinformation.
This gives people a false sense that countries are standing up to the US where in reality that isn’t happening yet. I’ve just finished studying the climate for nearly 20 years and I’m done with hopium.
ETA: your entire post history is constantly responding to people asking for a source. You’re not kind to the people who just want information, You’re not kind to yourself, And you’re causing all these servers to spin up more pollution just because you can’t deliver information efficiently. People like you drive me mad
If you actually READ the sentence above the growing list of countries, you'd see the words "some form of travel warning".
The Smart Traveller link you keep responding with, lists a whole washing list of "normal" precautions to take when you visit the USA, including but not limited to: protests, violence, terrorism, guns, etc. Seriously, the advice includes getting active shooter training. That's not normal in any sense of the word.
In addition, the page states that you can apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which if you'd done your research before blasting me, you'd discover is at the heart of many of the warnings issued by other countries. Specifically, if your passport doesn't match your gender assigned at birth, then your ESTA will, apparently, cause you to be turned back or locked up.
Then there's this page: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/before-you-go/who-you-are/LGBTQIA
I won't be losing any sleep about my attempts to inform people about the reality of travelling to the USA at this time.
The link you’ve provided proves my point. I suggest you look at the date last updated at the very beginning of the article.
Your entire response is whataboutism of the finest degree.
Australian has not even made the LGBTQ warning, The Netherlands and Belgium have, and you could link those.
And now that you’ve disproven yourself re Australia I’m sure you’ll stop including it in your upvote seeking copypasta.
Finally yes nobody should travel to USA at this point, but this is about you spreading misinformation.
At no point did I state when these statements were made, or for what purpose. For example, Mexico specifically warns about Measles, no doubt the first of more to come.
How the list I've created is used, is entirely up to the individual contemplating travel.
That’s great buddy. Just add the links for those you can verify, remove the ones you don’t know for sure and stop turning something that could be factual and useful into a 20 season tv drama nobody asked for
Mexico issued a warning about traveling to Texas due to measles https://www.gob.mx/salud/documentos/aviso-preventivo-de-viaje-por-sarampion-en-texas-ee-uu

What I can mainly find about Austrialia is that that a local LGBTIQ+ organization called “Equality Australia” has released a 5 page document to warn people.
I wouldn’t really call it a warning, they just stated the fact that the decision of being let in lays in the border officer’s hands. But if you count it, Poland has a travel warning for USA for years too: https://www.gov.pl/web/usa/idp , while being a long-standing strong supporter of the US.
By the way, the same “warning” applies to Canada: “in Canada, a border services officer makes the final decision on whether you are admissible or not”
Here’s how an actual travel warning looks like: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/myanmar
The Netherlands doesn't have any particular warning regarding travelling to the US.
They do, actually
