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.

Wait until they find out that AI is scraping their web sites.
All of these companies only benefit from AI being employed to manufacture consent, alter reality and shape people's social trends and habits. This is why they don't want their data archived, they want to be able to use mobs of AI agents disguised as people to shape narrative and decide what people think is true.
It's already in massive progress across Reddit because it's so easy to disperse undercover AI instances and create conversations to influence people.
Even if you think yourself to be a critical thinker and reasonable, if you go into a huge, popular post and everyone in there is saying how the sky is green, and you ask what they're talking about because you know the sky is blue, and then dozens of people pile on you, downvote you, call you names and insult you for believing in false facts and calling you naive and easily programmed, you're really going to question reality and you may even go outside to take a second look at the sky.
Of course, they wouldn't do anything this bold, they will instead make far more subtle forms of "common knowledge" sentiments, able to change the minds of people who are otherwise smart and logical, but like every person, everywhere, just wants to fit in. So if those people see constant messages like "Of course it's not a genocide, that was obviously manufactured propaganda, I have a brother over there and he's saying..." etc, etc. That will absolutely change public perception of events and issues. To a cataclysmic degree.
It's already happening and it's even happening here. Everyone needs to get a lot more skeptical and a lot less online.
Ideally, we would have our own personally run AI instances that can give us a probability that what we are reading is LLM generated. It's still pretty good at recognising itself. That will be an arms race, though.
reddit trying to achieve what FB is doing, meta already has complete control of FB what they push as propaganda.
Well, Reddit's got a contract for AI companies to scrape their content, so pig boy Spez is getting paid, he don't give a fuck
I'm sure they don't care, or are all about it.
