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.
It's only "horribly shortsighted" if you're not looking to sell backdoors to US intelligence/Security/infrastructure to foreign powers. No doubt this is a 1st step before trying to reform that "cyber security" thing with Vlad again, only maybe this time it's done on the DL.
Edit - Autocorrect, why can't we be friends?
Should I be learning Russian or Mandarin? Which country is Trump selling us out to?
Yes
Something tells me learning Spanish now would be a waste of time unless you want to ex-pat to Mexico or España.
It isn’t short sighted once you learn the reason is to encourage collapse. Project 2025 anyone?
I disagree. It's not about P25, it's about shielding oneself and friendly tech bros from any investigation and responsibility for leaking or willfullty trading data. This agency was a threat to Muskie and Zuckie-chan, so it was put down.
Collapse and then what
Then they can do everything they would like to do, shoot people on sight etc
Profit
A good chunk of them think the rapture is going to happen any day now.
I'm convinced Trump is a gene stealer cultist variant it explains a f#@! Ton. Like everything.
Bought and paid for by a generous donation from a foreign national.
Fucking Trump, shitty every day.
I know why they're doing this but I'm really hoping it bites them in the ass.
...What ever happened to Anonymous?
I mean, if there are altruistic hackers attempting some kind of cyber-coup, I'd expect we wouldn't hear much about it until it happens.
