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.

I get the comments that are suspicious of the circumstances of her death, but I believe it. I can completely understand how it feels to see abusers go unpunished and I can't even imagine what it must have been like seeing these beasts live their best life as she had to live with the scars of their abuse and never find justice.

Awful.

RIP. She was a fighter and a hero.

We can lament the lack of full justice but please let's not forget this woman's massive achievements...

Epstein died awaiting trial. Maxwell is doing 20 years. Andrew is a social pariah who has been ejected from the royal family. And everyone around the world knows about Epstein's trafficking ring.

None of this would have happened without Giuffre's tenacity and bravery for so long in the face of insurmountable odds and incredibly powerful people.

It's not justice until every charge is answered for and every perpetrator faces trial. BUT.. this woman achieved so much and deserves to be remembered as such.

Let's not frame her as a downtrodden victim. She's a fucking fighter. And she won an astounding victory. This woman felled giants.

Alas, Andrew is on his way back to a Mel Gibson-style rehabilitation. (If anything, the token ostracism he experienced, solely for the benefit of the cameras, was far less that Prince Harry did for marrying an American of the wrong colour.) Meanwhile, other rapists not only walk free but thrive.

The unpleasant realisation is that Giuffre served her purpose as a warning to other victims to stay silent.

Drop your fucking disrespectful morose tone, this woman was silenced. We don't need acceptance, we need to impale the culprits.

Wasn't she just in a car accident with injuries that were going to quickly be fatal? Did she maybe just choose to go at a time of her choice?

What, no windows to fall out of?

Wasn‘t a Russian general doing his housework.

Suspicious anyway. RIP.

Good people in this world gets crushed by evil ones. Evil is actually rewarded.

But if you have any belief that what we do in this world matter on some spiritual level after death, I would be careful becoming an evil person for the gains it gives here on earth.

A shame. The indications were there for the world to see a week ago.
