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.

Meaning sell out your buddies. The Nazis definitely did this.

Every despotic regime has a program to inform on your neighbors. Even in our tech-laden world, it's probably one of the most effective means of identifying dissidents.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Meaning betray the trust of your pupils.

Any university that complies is a valid target.

[–] shininghero@pawb.social 36 points 1 year ago

"We'd love to comply, but the funding cuts from your administration have regrettably forced us to shut down the security systems needed to perform such identification. Turns out weatherproof cameras and 100 TB+ storage arrays for footage aren't cheap."

I gotta say that I’ve never been so jealous of all that freedom you guys are always boasting about

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

This is why it was foolish of Columbia, Harvard, etc. to have caved. They’re coming for all universities, better to resist now than cede ground and have less to resist with later.

Man, that freedom of speech thing works really different than I thought.

In case anyone was wondering this is, in fact, fascism.

That makes anyone that voted for it a fascist. Because they were warned, repeatedly, that voting in such a way would be supporting fascism.

People are dumb or plain retarded to comprehend the most basic and common sense things about cases like Trump. The same has been happening in Romania for almost 40 decades now: people keep voting fascists/ex-communists/thieves/incompetent people even id they are warned about it.

It is the obligation of every university to refuse to cooperate beyond the minimum amount required by law. No one in the administration is working in good faith. Make them require the judicial branch.

... "But only if they sound foreign"

Totally normal stuff.
