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.

You know it's an opt-in for the owners right? What are you doing anyways that makes you so worried police will catch you anyways?
I have no respect for the 'nothing to hide, nothing to fear' argument, and I will not be engaging with it. You can simply Google why this is drastically wrong. It's not worth my energy to explain it.
Right? When people tell me this i ask if they have given their keys to the cops with permission to come look whenever they feel like it
Take 3 seconds to think about why this is a terrible way to think
While we're getting rid of our rights, let's just get rid of the entire justice system and democracy because people always do the right thing, especially cops who are never filmed all the time murdering people for their egos being hurt or just flagrant racism.
Maybe be brown? Seems like an easy way to get in trouble nowadays.
Weird. I'm brown and have brown neighbors. None of us are worried. Maybe you need to touch grass.
the US is literally in the midst of a nazi revival
you’re either not brown or a moron
I'm assuming that's an inclusive "or" As in they may be both!
Brown people are getting disappeared into unmarked vans all over the country but I’m glad you aren’t worried.
Ah, y'all are some of the "good" browns...until you aren't.
Dumbass.
This HAS to be bait
Judging by all the pearl clutching, attacks and out of reality reactions going on, I'd say it was spot on.
(Note the lack of even a basic attempt to address the actual material of the argument)
I'm transgender and my boyfriend is Latino. we've got plenty to worry about
well given that the police don't seem to need a reason anymore, literally anything?
It's opt-in for now, but not if they don't get as many options as they want. Also ring cameras often show a lot more than your property they show the street and other neighbors houses as well.
