Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

yea someone could take the model and make their own product with their own PR and public perception

that's very different from directly spoonfeeding it as a product to the general public consumers inside of WhatsApp or something

it's like saying someone can mod Skyrim to put nude characters in it, that's very different from Bethesda selling the game with nude characters
