Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The AP? The news aggregate that is currently publishing such pro Hamas headlines as

"What’s the history of ‘outside agitators’? Here’s what to know about the label and campus protests"

"Pro-Palestinian protesters demand endowment transparency. But it’s proving not to be simple"

And that's NOW, when a lot of news publications are finally coming around to the idea that indiscriminately bombing civilians is not cool

...and crypto exchange Binance

lmao

I could write "Israel has a right to defend itself against Palestinian aggression" and they'd sue me for the hate speech of acknowledging Palestinians exist.

Here's the case on the RECAP Archive (very handy if you ever want to look at documents for federal cases and/or keep tabs on an ongoing case):

Full text (part 2)State-level Republican officials have also taken steps to legalize the suppression of SJP. In March, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order targeting campus activism, calling on all the state’s higher education institutions to “review and update free speech policies” to address antisemitism. The order defined the slogan “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as antisemitic and linked the use of the widely adopted phrase to Hamas.

And in October, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered colleges to shut down all SJP chapters. The University of Florida SJP chapter sued DeSantis in November and said the governor’s order was a violation of free speech. A federal court denied the chapter’s request for a preliminary injunction in January and found that Florida officials did not intend to deactivate all SJP chapters after comments by the Florida University System chancellor walking back DeSantis’s order.

In October, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares opened an investigation into AMP and said his office had reason to believe that the organization was soliciting contributions without proper registration. Miyares, a Republican, had also called on state law enforcement agencies to donate tactical gear to Israeli citizens.

Last week, Congress adopted a resolution that would further chill speech from organizations like SJP. The resolution employs a controversial definition of antisemitism that includes any attempts to draw comparisons between the actions of the Israeli government and Nazis. The House voted 320 to 91 to adopt the working definition of antisemitism published in 2016 by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. The lead author of the definition has said it “was never intended to be a campus hate speech code.”

It's not paywalled for me?

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I didn't even know they had a paywall.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

One way to get around a lot of them: have uBlock Origin installed, disable javascript on the site and refresh

There's still a surprising amount of publications where you can get around the paywall with that. Images/videos may not load, but you can get to the article itself.

Firefox reader mode circumvents the "paywall"

[–] ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Is that an add on? I can't find it in the settings on Mobile

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Intercept doesn’t have a paywall, though…
