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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


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. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


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.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

The messaging was encrypted, they where using Signal. The dumb fuck just "accidentally" added the reporter to the group chat 😆

Locks are just as effective as the people wielding the keys.

[–] Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

That's so true. And to be clear I wasn't trying to suggest that they should have been doing that. Like the messaging and the bombing. Both bad

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if it was deliberate. Trump will surround himself with people like him, so they must constantly be knifing each other in the back

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oooh you're right I never thought about it like they're similar to the circle Stalin had.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 1 points 10 months ago

Yep like attracts like

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Saying singal is secure is actually a wild take. JS felt like this was a in person type of job.

[–] Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why do you say it isn't secure? I'm not saying it should be used for what they where doing. I was just saying, it is encrypted

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It was hacked in 2022 and 1900 accounts and their messages were leaked.

If your serious about security you need to use anon messages.

Signal ok for local drug dealers but for international war games I'd like something better then a app on the app store.

[–] Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah that's fair lol or like maybe plan your bombings in person 😅

[–] supamanc@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

That's not quite true. A 3rd part verification provider was compromised not signal itself

Twilight hack
