News
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.

I entirely think Germany is right and I even think that works within the frame of the First Amendment because overt racism is an implicit (and even sometimes explicit) threat of violence, which is already not legal. It just needs justices uncorrupt enough to see it that way. Unfortunately, we do not have those justices right now.
Just remember that you are ok with them censoring speech when they turn pro trans speech illegal.
Jesus Christ, adults can draw lines and supporting a racist traitor regime is an easy bright line.
Don't be a fucking child.
Do you trust your enemies with the power to censor you?
Because that will be used against you
Booooo. Scaaaaaaary wooooords. Now do nothing ever for any reason.
^this is you.
If my enemies need to be reminded what feeds the Tree of Liberty then that's just fine.
Ok, you are entitled to your own opinion. 😊
You know they already do, right? There is speech that is not protected by 1A. As a society, we can clearly set those rules without doing a slippery slope (which for the record is a fallacy and not a poignant argument).
how does being pro trans imply hate?
It doesn’t in any way… to us.
Do you want to give that gun to someone else and trust them to do right?
"Pro trans speech" is in no way racist.
You’re 100% correct.
Now do you want to hand your enemies that tool and trust that they won’t misuse it?
How do you misuse a "tool" that specifically bans racist speech?
Why hasn't this "tool" been misused in Germany?
You define criticism of Israel as antisemitic like they have in parts of Europe.
You know what, touché salesman.
I don’t trust America not to find a way to twist it and use it against other speech though.
Germany has a real strong “No more Nazis” thing going after what happened to it.
They’re using that to continue to support Israel killing Palestinian children though so I would say that the sentiment behind those laws is already being used in a bad way.
I did just have this thought though so feel free to tear into it.
I’m going to browse
