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.

In a letter to Mark Zuckerberg, US state attorneys demanded Meta defy EU sustainability and human rights directives — citing "European elites" and "bureaucrats in Brussels."

"Elites" and "bureaucrats" - named let alone unnamed - do not dictate law or its prosecution in the EU.

American law does not supersede European law, especially when applied to products and services being distributed in the European Union.

I think my country quickly will find out how powerful the EU really is.

The EU may be nothing more than a trade agreement seeking the most profitable ways to profit, but they really don't like dictators telling them how to make that happen for billionaires who aren't in the EU.

Cronies be cronies. And our cronies are better than yours.
