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. 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.

The thing that's crazy here, and that imo clearly shows that this is a 100% political, manipulative move, is that it's a court. They don't just grab people and declare people guilty or flip coins or something. A trial can end in a "not guilty" verdict. That's the point.
There is only one reason to threaten a court: if you already know beyond any doubt that whoever is accused of something is guilty AND you don't like the outcome and consequences of a guilty verdict.
The important part, is Britian bitched out on their threat...
The wealthy and powerful make empty threats constantly, because if/when it works, it's a free victory.
We can't negotiate with the wealthy, which should be obvious by 2025 to anyone that can remember the past twenty years.
I'm hungry. When do we eat?
Seems like a good time for some Bob Vylan honestly...
Fuck that, let's go dig up Maggie
Let's go dig up Maggie's grave and ask her where that milk went
Down to storm those Downing doors, run inside and **** them
Eat the rich, eat the rich before they turn and eat your children
England's ending, death's still pending, burn those fucking buildings
I do love me some Bob Vylan! My wife likes their lyrics, but not the music that much.
You could also sanction a court if it was a kangaroo or otherwise corrupt court, like US immigration "courts".
Why does Israel have so many bitches?
They're like geopolitical pimps.
Because Israel is a fascist nation, and many modern countries are run by authoritarians who will gladly line up to test new weapons on brown people and hide behind accusations of antisemitism whenever someone calls out Israel for their genocide
Because they are THE product of geopolitics. They should know it more than any other country
This. Basically if you say Colonization is wrong, that mean you admit all European colonized country are wrong, this includes Canada, and Australia for example. These people have a hard time admitting their crimes.
Because having at least one country committing war crimes against civilians keeps "war crimes against civilians" on the table
Britain in particular might have difficulty reconciling that they made promises to everybody that directly conflicted with each other.
This appears to have been under the previous Conservative government.
However, with the actions of the current Labour government against pro-Palestine groups and supporters it wouldn't surprise me if they are doing similar.
Westminster is full of scumbags. Scottish independence can't come fast enough. Fuck the union, fuck this racist, classist, moralless, support of genocide. Fuck the intimidation of war crimes prosecutors. David Cameron should be prosecuted as an accessory to genocide for doing so.
"They're trying to undermine a foundation of western civilization by persecuting genocide and war crimes."
Yeeaaaah.
If you're defending the criminals, then you too are a criminal
Canada is threatened by the US, the UK PM says nothing, and he cannot stop licking Trump's nutsack every chance he gets. It's an embarrassing betrayal.
Does Trump have an arrest warrant yet?
