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 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.

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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

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.

really hating this slew of legislation where kids are allowed to work 40 hr weeks now but they're too smol for the internet

Well the internet may make them trans. A hard day’s work only risks killing or maiming them

The Internet makes me cum hard. Ever since Amiga 500 and dial-up modem

It's always been like this. How long has it been illegal for an 18-20 year old to buy alcohol, but sending them overseas to kill is just fine.

Unpopular opinion: it's been extensively studied that addictive corporate social media like Instagram and TikTok cause developmental damage, depression, and can lead to suicide in a statistically significant proportion of young adolescents. It should be regulated just like we do with cigarettes.

Yeah, it's just that the R douchnozzles pushing it in most places also want to tack it on with secuality-related stuff, parent helicoptering and we'll trodden and failed shit ideas of social control.

Meanwhile not a single one of them will vote for internet privacy laws to slow the rape of Americans data on the daily.

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

The judge's arguments in this case are bogus - minors don't have any free speech rights, or e.g. public schools wouldn't be the free speech free zones that they are - but your argument is much, much worse, because it hurts adults and minors. You want to see where your argument leads, go look at the state of porn in Louisiana.

Good.

More ways to exclude and marginalize young people is not what society needs. Social media can be a lifeline for people who otherwise cannot live authentically or get access to literally anything true any other way.

Ohio just mad the kids are making fun of them on the internet.
