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.

Hi, mod here.

In the future, please avoid sharing links from news aggregators. Sharing from the original source helps community health by providing transparency, and allows others to avoid reposting the same article.

Thanks for saying that. Yahoo tries to set millions of data harvesting cookies, it's insane. Declining it means no video in this case.

I remember watching a video like this but it was on Reddit and it was top post. It was also happening in Moscow, not the USA.

"The country of freedom" accuses the other country of their censorship in media, but then it starts doing the same things.

Freedom my ass I say

To paraphrase Brennan Lee Mulligan, paraphrasing Michel Foucault, "Laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic ethnic group in a given nation. It's just a promise of violence that's enacted and police are basically an occupying army."

Fuck every US tech company while you're at it

Once this is over, and one day it will, we can't forget this, we can't forget what IS tech companies did under trump

Which, I'm sure, means that people will forget in about 5 minutes and then they return to the cool US napy tech

Presuming it was autocorrect, but it should be RAP, record of arrests & prosecutions.

Thankfully it seems like no one said this yet, so just inb4:

She was not stupid, nor useless or played into their hand. Be inspired and take example. Being arrested for a little bit is not that big of a price to pay for resisting tyranny.

More importantly, without blindly believing it will automatically come true, at least put the scenario where you win into your heads. Going to prison for what's right can actually be liberating, if you think about it. And people can be taken out of prison too, together with all those that were imprisoned for getting or giving an abortion, those that immigrated "illegally" but spent decades contributing to the US's society and economy, those that only had a bunch of weed on them, etc. Maybe even the whole "for-profit prison" concept may finally come to an end. Imagine that!

If this had happened in Venezuela in last couple of days the media would be loosing it's shit. The image of that arrest would be immortalized and treated like the Saigon pistol execution.

Immediately following the attack, bombing and kidnapping of Maduro, journalists were rounded up around the country.

Our media isn't making a stink about it because they are complicit in the manufacturing of a narrative here and you can't have people in Venezuela contradicting that narrative.

Getting REAL close to my home fascist pig fucks. I am very please that my State is both concealed and open carry. This shit WILL NOT STOP until they start getting pushed back, HARD. I have been hearing chatter in the streets in regards to 'while you are in the streets kidnapping us, who is watching your house'?
