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.

Every dollar you earn or spend has blood on it, not to mention the blood dripping from whatever device you used to write that comment. Kind of selective to shit on facebook stockholders like they're uniquely culpable for the harm unregulated capitalism facilitates.
Not uniquely, but worse than most, since FB knows the problems, knows exactly how to fix them and actively chooses not to in order to maximize profits.
Not to mention that I happen to consider things like genocide and ethnic cleansing the worst of all crimes, which makes abetting those worse than the crimes of most other companies.
Fact is that Facebook is one of the most powerful entities in the world, more powerful than many if not most countries and they're knowingly abusing that power for profit.
There's nothing weird about holding them more accountable than for example a company with shoddy wages and working conditions. That's of course unacceptable too, but it's nothing compared to the atrocities of Facebook.
Yeah FB is totally unique in that regard- lol.
They're just big and public and make a lot of news that you've heard about. Dig deeper into the financial system and you'll find you live in a blood fountain theme park and you're covered in it too. But I know some people can't feel good about themselves without feeling morally superior to someone else so I guess if shitting on FB stock in particular is what you need who am I to deny you ;)
Again: genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Huge scale election fraud. Basically contributing to the demise of civilized society on hundreds if not thousands of occasions.
I know that basically all big companies are awful in one way or the other (usually several), but there is such a thing as differences in scale and there's no doubt that FB is one of the worst of the worst.
I know it's important for some people to have a mascot for evil and I guess FB is yours. Don't ever look into what the petroleum products you depend on has cost humanity.
I know it's important for some people to have a hobby and I guess demonstrating the kind of reading comprehension a third grader would be embarrassed of while spewing one whataboutism arter the other is yours.
Don't waste any more of my time with your feigned lack of understanding or genuine idiocy.
Whatever satisfies your desperate need to pretend you're morally superior.
🥱🤫
Eating chocolate makes you morally equivalent to a FB shareholder ;)
🥱🤫
How do you even type with all that blood on your hands?
Just fuck off already 🙄
No one is forcing you to reply, or to use petroleum products that cost humanity the destruction of nature and nations ;)
