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. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

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.
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.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

Think hard about why a fascist would want to keep teenagers from accessing information
That and he's taking away any social support for kids that may not have any irl.
Ohhhhh. I was wondering why fascists would care about this. Preventing LGBTQ+ kids from accessing support structures sounds like a bingo.
We'll the main thing is to keep them ignorant, so he's killing one bird with two stones.
They want gay kids to kill themselves. They're bad people and we need to stop pretending otherwise

How does not having a social media account keep people away from information? You can browse most social media sites without an account, and most actual information is hosted on other sites anyways.
I don't have social media and most links to Facebook, Twitter... MANY sites... redirect straight to a login page.
Your DGAF always-logged-in xp is not indicative of the population who don't use those services...
Some sites are like that, sure ( I also don't have accounts on any of those though), but once again, social media sites rarely host actual information itself. Certainly not important information at least.
How will they enforce this. By asking for ID. So YOU and ME can be tracked and harassed for being different than them.
You mean like everyone voting to ban tiktok?
