Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Cuz you're rich, dummy.
So glad to hear that his unimaginably privileged kids will be better off in France. I think they would probably do pretty damn well just about anywhere. Hell, I'd move to France too if I could do so in a financially sustainable way (spoiler, I don't think I could).
Ok, but how is this World news?
It vaguely involves a non US country
Vaguely international barely news article in WorldNews. Quick, upfart it.
They're rich. His children will be fine wherever they are.
Says something when even rich people are better off elsewhere.
As long as he doesn't come back after we have all been bled to get rid of these freakish magats.
The American dream is now to escape America.
It always has been.
It's harder than you think to renounce American citizenship.
I heard you were dead
I got better
Must be nice to have "Buy Myself French Citizenship" kind of money.
He could do it for under $500K. He probably started the talent investor visa process during the 45 administration, as they take about 4 years to get approved.
Super easy for him to spin up some production company that makes 2 art movies a year, hire 3 French people he knows on 5-year contracts, and he's basically at the minimum requirements. If he's bought and invested more than a certain amount in a home as well, that also counts towards citizenship.
He could do it for under $500K.
Oh, is that all? Let me check my couch for loose change.
If he’s bought and invested more than a certain amount in a home as well, that also counts towards citizenship.
I'm sure he has a home in the South of France. Probably walking distance from the Cannes movie festival
Home bought 2021, according to reports. Not long enough for the normal 5 year residency requirement, plus he's probably away lots. Looks fishy. Nice to be rich.
Probably cheaper than a “Trump Card”
If you’re NOT on a government watch list by now, you should be ashamed of yourself.
If you're posting history of the last 6 years doesn't get you on a list, I don't want to be your friend.
But also if you're on one with your real name, don't even op-sec?
If I check to see if I'm on any lists, does that put me on a list?
Just this comment makes you eligible for being on a list. Not The List though, you gotta do something special for that one.

They removed me from it: They lost too many agents due to boredom.
i was going to go with the Terry Davis method but i’m just not comfortable screaming racist things into every microphone.
Lmao 🤣
It's funny you say that, because even just finding out whether you're on a list is nearly impossible.
There are certain magical household chemicals that makes them appear if you stockpile enough of them.
"What‽ What‽ Is it wrong to want a clean house‽ It's illegal to collect styrofoam coolers now‽" 
Yup, leave if you can.
And if you can't, whine about those who do.
Username checks out
instance too
Well, it is literally anywhere better than in the US or Israel.
Being rich must be so nice.
Poor be fucked is the American way.
Tina Turner did it before it was cool.
Mark Twain, Mary Cassatt, James McNeill Whistler, Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, Henry Miller, Josephine Baker, Alexander Calder, Man Ray, Stuart Davis, James Baldwin, Richard Wright, Beauford Delaney, Kay Sage, Joan Mitchell, Ellsworth Kelly, Sam Francis, Alexander Archipenko, and Edmonia Lewis all did it before it was cool.
Alexander Archipenko? Wow, I didn't know that.
It was Switzerland though.
Which is more impressive because she had to pass German exam and get approval from the community.
Just like Richard Scarry! He also moved to Switzerland.
Huh, I thought they lived in Italy.
Doesn't really matter. A French citizenship will let him live in Italy, too!
It’s so nice to know he made his bag on the backs of American labor and American consumers, and he can now just leave.
Must be nice to be given everything playing make believe, throw a couple bones to the manufactured opposition, then say nah I’m done. I don’t want my kids growing up in the country that literally made me and afforded me the privilege to just leave when shit really starts to matter. Congrats on that.
You’d leave in a fucking second if you could. And if you wouldn’t, you’re not paying attention. Stop trying to find ways to be pissed off about shit like this and instead direct your energy towards the actual fucking problem.
It’s like people here WANT to be pissed off at everything.
