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.

He wants a database of people exercising their first amendment rights meanwhile I just want to know what he did with the 50 grand the FBI gave him as a bribe during their sting operation.

He was on Meet The Press last Sunday, and she actually asked him what he did with the money, several times. Usually they just ignore the 800 pound gorilla sitting there, but she kept poking it, and he got really pissy, and claimed there was no money, and none of it happened.

I doubt they'll let him back on a talk show again anytime soon.

they already using palintir to identify protestors.

Moron doesn't know famous from infamous.

I wonder where he lives...

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 23 points 2 months ago

Be careful what you wish for.

[–] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Would be a shame if he or his family somehow ended up in that database...

[–] karashta@piefed.social 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right now, it's "to ruin their lives". 

Next up, it's "to take them to the death camps".

Federal judges are forbidden from nationwide injunctions now too. So the vast majority of people could be prevented from getting the courts to stop an unlawful detainment in mass detainments, and well after irreperable harm has been done.

That was a huge decision that flew under the radar because our opposition party, the media, and influencers are rather worthless, dishonest as a rule and themselves delusional and lacking in understanding let alone foresight.

Pretty sure frog dude is already famous. They'd just be flooding the market.

Protestors want a database of ICE to hold them accountable for their crimes.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago

Is this just to make it easier to set up GoFundMe accounts for all of them? Because that's what's going to happen.

Rawstory is clickbait, lazy, and ad heavy. As I recall last I went on a link there they had moving advertisements when I was trying to read, which is a deal breaker for me. That was before someone turned my on to ublockorigin so that probably blocks them but adblockers did not as I recall.

They already do all this stuff, both privately and publicly. The only ones they publicly outed like that as of yet have been the anti-genocide protesters though. Because our politicians and billionaires care more about Israel than any other issue. Might have something to do with them fucking children with epstein on israeli intelligence's secret cameras.

There are a number of scary contractors for the feds and corporate interests, the bastard of blackwater, palantir, and a host of others that have the capability to id people from facial recognition and build dossiers on them, including everything the data brokers have.

Working for the US they will have ALL data broker info. The feds buy it all. They just streamlined the process last year for a single entity to buy it all and distribute it to agencies. Before they did it piecemeal and different agencies had paid for the same tranches of information.

I'll save you time. Just look at my Facebook.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 2 months ago

I'm sure they're looking at your Lemmy too. It would be naive to think that the feds don't have an instance for capturing everything that happens here.
