What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Schools across the U.S. are rolling out AI-powered surveillance technology, including drones, facial recognition and even bathroom listening devices. But there’s not much data to prove they keep kids safe.

Yeah, wow, the Trump-Epstein group of pedo billionaires really hit the jackpot with the Republicans. Tell everyone you're going to make sure only the right gender are going into the toilet and let mass AI surveillance video and store kids genitals.

They'll have AI-powered permanent access to every child's genitals in America. Good work MAGAts, you definitely didnt shit the bed on this one....

To be clear… fuck MAGA and dystopian AI surveillance but what you’ve described is not what the article is saying at all. The bathroom monitor they describe is a microphone that is monitoring for words like “help” and “emergency.”

Absolutely fuck MAGA and the dystopia AI nightmare thats here, but lets be real. Every dictatorship always pushes the mass surveillance agenda. If you dont think this is the start if that, then youre head is deeeeeep in the sand.
