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.
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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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
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.
Here's the non paywall archived article. It's an update to a Reuters article from last year.
If you have the means please donate to the EFF or archive.org or Reuters themselves as they are doing their best to bring balanced reporting to us all

Now this is a comment that I can get behind. Well done!
Wat?
Cosmic is a sunshine troll who reports comments he doesn't agree with for being uncivil.
I got fed up with him for constantly complaining about paywalls, went so far as to give him an archived link of both the original article and the update, and it still wasn't enough.
Then he goaded me into flaming him, I took the bait, he reported my comments and got most taken down. Then after I posted the archive link again with how and where to donate he tried to glad hand my comment, all the while he never looked for the article himself on archive.is nor archive.org. Because "paywall links are beyond the pale"!
Thus the moniker of him being a sunshine troll.
Now I'll patiently wait for this comment to be removed as well.
Thanks for being willing to take time out of your day to enlighten me
Anytime, sorry I needed to vent. Thanks for listening.
