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 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.

As a Canadian it's very weird to me that it's allowed in the USA.

It's not all that weird when you consider that all of our rules are made with the ownership class in mind.

Company makes more money? That is objectively A Good Thing™ regardless of anything anyone says.

It's gross :(

This is how people end up down conspiracy theory rabbit holes. A conspiracy nut has just enough actually good ideas that people start to think they’re smart and believe the utter nonsense they spew afterwards.

I still don’t like him, but I’d love to see this happen.

Legitimate good ideas wrapping around a few extremely terrible ones is exactly how people get pulled in to the scam.

There are fools who believe that Big Pharma won't take over Big Supplement (and the ads will be for supplements).

"No way to fix this" says only country where this happens

When I used to live/work abroad then come back to the US it was so alarming seeing drug commercials again. It just shouldn’t exist. So i completely agree with the worm on this one

I wonder if that ban includes quack remedies?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Honestly kind of weird, you would expect him to allow literally anybody to advertise their drugs from his usual deregulatory stance.

calling it now: RFK be gone in less than 6 months

doesn't say much, considering most of the "best people" trump picks don't last that long
