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.

MODERATORS
 

Social media platforms like Meta and X (formerly Twitter) tolerate a wide range of content but restrict public tracking of celebrities' private jet routes, citing privacy concerns.

Meta suspended accounts run by Jack Sweeney, who used public data to track jets of prominent figures like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, highlighting privacy risks for powerful individuals.

The article points out the irony of Meta's selective privacy enforcement, given its ongoing issues with protecting users from harmful content like disinformation and predatory behavior.

What a billionaire wants them to stop doing something they send a legal team after them and make them pay money to defend themselves..

When us pleebs what them to stop doing something it actually cost them more money to have somebody make someone stop than it does to ignore us

Wonder if data brokers get info on billionaires too. Let's normalize exposing everything billionaires do by buying their data, and presenting it to the world

Oh yes, they have lists of famous people whose data is removed, in fact the big data company I used to work for had a whole team dedicated to keeping these lists updated.

I have reported so much stuff on Facebook, including obvious harassment where someone did multiple posts just abusing people

It never gets removed.

But my post telling people where I could be found in the mountains when hiking was for cybersecurity or whatever (in case I disappeared I made this post).

Facebook has turned to complete shit, to the point after 30 years, i wish there was a better alternative

Luckily we have spaces such as the Fediverse where we can escape CorpoNet.
