World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'm not sure I understand the charges. "X stands accused of the 'alteration of the functioning of an automated data processing system by an organized group' as well as the 'fraudulent extraction of data from an automated data processing system by an organized group.'" The article makes it seem like they are being charged because of how the platform is used, but the charges make it seem like the company hacked into someone else's system. It's the former, right?
I don't see how the first charge makes sense if that's the case. How does that differ from just changing the algorithm? Are they suggesting X should never be able to change it?
There's probably some important context the article leaves out. Maybe French law requires companies to not align with political groups or something.
Or maybe it doesn't actually make sense, because it's just another of the many cases of lawfare ongoing right now around the world.
I only heard people programmed by Fox speak this way. Good little sheepy
Heads up this person also says that immigrants “ruin the natural state of public places” so they really aren’t worth listening to.
Nice try, but I said that massive unchecked immigration is ruining the state of public places, which is entirely correct. Maybe if you actually engaged with people instead of demanding that everyone you talk to must contort themselves into whatever overly narrow mould your masters have provided you to avoid having to actually think, you'd actually understand that cramming 2313412413545245 of anyone into a place built to support 3000 isn't ever going to work, and you are literally a pawn for repeating that shit without actually understanding anything.
No the fuck it isn’t. Shut the fuck up, racist.
What, exactly, do you actually think you're accomplishing with this bullshit?
Making racists feel unwelcome when spouting their shitty opinions. It seems to be working.
Uh, no. You're making yourself look like an ass and turning reasonable people who actually want to seek common ground, away. I actually love engaging with people like you, because you're so wildly unreasonable that it really highlights the difference in our arguments to the outside observer.
Just like the many court cases against Trump, amirite? Weaponized DOJ and such. Socialist Fascism. Always in the way of good old ❄️🍑.
