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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


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.

Ummm. They knew, guys.

Also this is extremely violating. And this bullshit,

. “We believe the potential benefits of this research substantially outweigh its risks"

What kind of psychotic sssholes run an experiment on an unsuspecting public because they believed that it's ok to fraudulently engage with others without theirspotential subjects being aware of it

This is something trump would do

It's Switzerland. Morality there is measured in $ (the same goes for their "neutrality")

The American government already did it, MK ultra

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Smh. Sigh

Why did you need to do a whataboutism?

I said the act was wrong.

Want right in Tuskegee , wasn't right in auschwitz, wasn't right with MK ULTRA and it wasn't right here.

No matter the severity of the act, it's goddamn wrong

Ok?

You immediately assume I disagree with you, all I meant was that they did it before and nobody should be suprised if it happens again, either the government or a corperation.

Ok?
