Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

This kind of backwards surveillance is chilling
It shows that pigs could catch and solve any crime they wanted, but that detail will be conveniently ignored 🤬🤬🤬🤬
scuba divers with floodlights lol
EDIT: and probably metal detectors
Isn't that just surveillance?
"He arrived on a bus from Atlanta."
Yeah, sounds like pretty standard investigating.
Not all surveillance has the ability to follow an individual back in time and space to any arbitrary position.
Maybe I'm not using the right term but I'm describing this kind of whole-picture surveillance that was perfected with surveillance drones in Iraq and Afghanistan and is (Foucault's Boomerang style) now being established in the major metropoles.
at least it doesn't seem like they have any information/footage of him in Atlanta
For me, (not trying to talk shit on you personally), I consider that ability to be the outcome of a properly configured surveillance system. Being able to trace the components of the event (including a person of interest) both forward and backward in time in order to investigate.
It's not being able to trace forward and back in time alone that is significant, but across time and space, such that you find footage of a crime and trace the criminal's life backwards to their doorstep (or hostel). To do that across a city requires complete networked coverage, and is not normal - most cities can't do that. That type of surveillance technology is relatively new.
If you have surveillance of which bus he got off, you know where and when it came from. Not that complicated
The bus didn't drop him off at the scene of the crime. Tracing his movements back multiple days across the city is extremely complicated and requires a complete surveillance of the whole city.
