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.

Their definition of "anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) content" is dialed way up into treating "China will fall in 7 days" like good content and anything less than that is Chinese propaganda. If they search for Tienanmen Square and get "pictures of the square without mention of the massacre" they classify that as "pro-CCP". If they get "unbiased historical content" or news coverage about bad shit China does they call that "neutral".
They also don't do anything to compensate for Tiktok's overall censorship, they went looking for massacre and genocide on the platform where people say corn and unalive, they don't compare how Tiktok deals with China vs any other subject.
They did a survey of how pro-China people are and how much they use Tiktok, but don't do anything to adjust for Tiktok being publicly associated with China. They could've put a question in the survey about whether people were boycotting Tiktok for anti-CCP reasons but didn't, which looks like they were fishing for a result.
I remember NCRI from back when they did the study comparing Antifa to ISIS, and they're still doing weird shit like that, if you like Luigi you're "Killing with Applause", colleges being too woke and anti-genocide is the "Corruption of the American Mind", if you do DEI it's your fault white people are racist.
Who is they
