2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

I'm not so sure. It solves a lot of issues, though they don't effect the vast majority of us. It'd be great as a nationally operated utility for military purposes to more easily provide internet access and communication to navy vassels as well as operations near the poles. It's also useful for very remote areas or mobile living. As a company operated for profit, sure I doubt it'll survive if militaries don't trust it, which I wouldn't. As a utility operated for the sake of the utility it provides, it's useful.
