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.

Yeah. Kutchner is an ongoing thing though, Europe hates him, they are using kids getting abused to try and break all encryption and run everything said and done through their half baked ai threat detection. As if it would end with child abuse. Israel, the environmental protesters against big projects, climate protesters will all immediately be on the chopping block and we all know it. Then everyone else.
So called chatcontrol, the umpteenth iteration proposed and defeated in europe as Kutchner's group, backed by Big Tech Money, but also with their own software they want to sell to sift through formerly private messages, and their networks of fake child safety organizations tool the well intentioned people that trust them, and propose bringing the trojan horse redesign behind the walls all the time, for decades now, and they've gotten close.
Same with age checks, they are being used to lock down the internet further and put everything done or said in a dossier on each person with ai making threat assessments on them, and that information filtered down, without attibution, to everything from banks, to cops and courts, to your search engine, to the digital price tags hooked up to ai and face recognition giving "personalized prices" on the spot. 1984 style but with tech those bastards couldn't dream of.
Someone should really give Seth the seed money to start his rival Tv Show, Tomahocked. It's a short pilot episode here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNlY9ZqwmBI
Oh yeah, trust me I know. That fucking "Chat Control" bullshit just refuses to die, even though AI detection has been scrapped for now. I'm 100% convinced our "leaders" will push it on us after this current marginally watered down version is in use.
Ditto with age checks. The Finnish far-right government just managed to push that through, zero chance it won't mutate into something worse eventually
