- Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
- Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
- Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
- Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
- No link shorteners
- No entire article in the post body

We are truly living in the Misinformation Age, so expect this stuff to get much worse. Further, because AI enables decent deepfakes, it allows people to silo themselves in a fantasy bubble world that reinforces their belief system. Any bad videos showing people on their side of the political spectrum will be immediately dismissed as fake without consideration, while even the weakest deepfakes that reinforce their views will be seen as reality. I don't think anyone is well prepared for how horribly wrong this will all go.
