A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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.

…have developed a following for content that promotes hyper-masculinity
I object to this phrasing. What they do isn’t masculine, only moreso. It isn’t masculine, just really really masculine.
What they do is toxic, abusive, and criminal. That shit should not be anywhere on the scale of masculinity.
You are correct.
I wonder how normal, healthy men can "take back" the concept of masculinity and get young people to ignore the toxic teachings coming out of the "manosphere." I think that Louis Theroux tried with his documentary, but I'm not sure it reached a wide enough audience.
I keep hearing about these guys being rounded up over and over, but is anyone ever going to prosecute them for something?
Like all bad things that are happening at the moment it's trump's fault. They were arrested in Romania and were in a Romanian prison until Trump got involved and kept threatening things until the Romanian authorities released them.
They should have told Trump to spin on it, he wouldn't have done anything.
His son Baron wanted them out, he's a fan
If you really do care about knowing, probably should read:

May they throw away the key
This should be in UpliftingNews
or OrphanCrushingMachine
N...no? Why would it? They committed real crimes, served time in a prison but then got out somehow.
More like, yay someone finally arrested these known human traffickers! Distopian part: and they've been selling online coursework how to pimp and abuse women for a decade. Many young men think its fantastic stuff. The US has embraced them as successful buisness men and examples.
I want to pirate that coursework. Not because I want to consume it. I heard piracy is bad for the creators. I want to pirate it just for the sake of that.
It's not often you hear of good news anymore.
Good. Lock them up and keep them in the UK.
I’d rather they get their trial in the states.
The UK has some bizarrely lenient sentencing for sex crimes. Like months or a couple of years. These chuckle fucks should rot for as long as possible, not only for their crimes but also as a punishment for the damage they’ve done to a generation of boys and young men.
At this point, I will take whatever justice we can get to put those clowns in jail.
Trump would pardon them.
The US makes rapists who are popular president though so idk man the UK might be better in this case.
Not in this case though. What you're talking about is sexual assault but these two are facing far more than just a few sexual assault charges (not that those aren't serious either), including kidnap, false imprisonment, human trafficking, and money laundering.
The concern in sexual assault charges is always the possibility of false accusations. Sadly some people seem to try and use trumped up historical sexual assault accusations against people that they have a vendetta against, and it's kind of hard for the other party to defend against. How do you prove you didn't commit a crime 15 years ago when there's no evidence either way?
May they die in prison
Good. And pleeease also take their phones away!
not so fun fact: paywall is what pushes ppl to use AI to get the summaries
Just collecting charges. Maybe someday they can get a sentence.
Hell, even a phrase would be better than nothing.
so the main diddler can pardon them
The main diddler will have no power in this case once they are out of the US... they're being extradited.
Anybody want to take bets on whether he'll try to stop extradition, though?
It'll be interesting to see what he does... on the one hand, it's his chance to 'own the libs' to rally his base. On the other, it could bring Epstein back into focus.
He has to be desperate for a new "supplier" after his BFF Epstein was suicided, maybe he's thinking these morons fit the bill.
If he did this it would kill the extradition treaty we have.
Which considering the USA uses it way more than us would hurt them more.
Let's get them locked up. They're currently riding the wave of extremism and even young lads are starting to think they are "getting their manliness back".
Weren’t these guys arrested like 10 years ago?
I don't think it was that long, but at least Andrew had been in prison in Romania already. Complaining how he's a victim of communist state violence etc. Not sure why they got out, but I'm glad the UK is picking up the ball.
It's not like these guys are going to stop to abuse women (and brag about it online) otherwise.
They got out because the US "leaned" on Romania to release them.
In February 2025, according to the Financial Times, Richard Grenell played a key role in securing the release of Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, two influencers prosecuted in Romania on charges of rape and human trafficking. He discussed the matter with Romanian foreign minister Emil Hurezeanu at the 61st Munich Security Conference. Grenell denied any pressure on the Romanian government.
King Charles expects now a call from potus that the arrest was somewhat rigged and that he needs to release them asap
Wait, there's two of them?
Agent Smith finally caught up with them
DeSantis and/or Trump (depending on whether the charges are in state court, federal court, or both) pardon incoming in 3..2..1..
I hope I'm wrong, but both of them would do that shit with little to no bribes or political pressure needed 😮💨🤬
The charges are in the UK, the arrest was for extradition. Not sure who has what power to block that but I'm not holding my breath that they actually face justice just yet.
My guess will be if they haven't already been flown out, Trump will have them delayed somehow so he can use this as a pressure tactic against the new PM.
But then again, that almost sounds too smart.
