News
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.

Please don't misquote people.
How are the protections working? A whole a lot better than the nothing you are suggesting. Their life mission is to get the word out. I feel at this point, you don't realize how important that work is. They will not wait for technology to solve this. Things are happening now.
I didn't quote you. Where have you suggested anything that addresses anything anyone else has said? All you've said is "technology or alternative means". You're just being an "ideas man". Let me know if you find someone to do the hard part for you.
We were never really discussing in earnest alternative superior protection mechanisms. I expressed at the top that satelites and tech should be used in place of journalists, the ultimate protection. I kinda feel like you just wanna be combative about this and I don't honestlt see any value for either of us in continuing to engage beyond a base desire to have the last word so I trust you'll seize on that as I respectfulky bow out
Edit: I will close by expressing that its combative convos like this that turn people off of caring to learn more to addres their own ignorance. I tried to learn and maybe made a bold hypothetical because its a complicated topic and I have to start somewhere to get some sort of foothold and I respectfully believe you are not the ideal audience or partner to help gently guide people towards a more nuanced immersion into the overall discussion
