Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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 10/19
-
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.

Yeah our governments, globally, are light years behind tech companies. I still need to send notarized letters for things when, as an American, the dod, nsa, fbi, cia, etc all are using palantir software by the quizat haderach Peter Thiel which has more information on me than any other involved party.
This just feels like a slow burn into making lisan al gaib able to observe everything I do.
It’s a feature not a bug.
This bill is unlikely to pass.
But not impossible. Australia passes some dumb shit sometimes.
Remember when Turnbull said that the laws of mathematics are subject to the laws of Australia in regards to encryption?
Yeah we do some really dumb shit.
Well there was that time Indiana tried to legislate pi to 3, so at least you're not alone.
"The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia."
Brother thinks he can force companies to break unbreakable encryption because the law says so lmfao
What’s worse is that prior to being a PM, he was chairman of the board at OzEmail prior to them being bought out by iiNet. You would have hoped by working for a technology company he’d have some semblance of a clue about encryption. 🤦🏻♂️
Yay ineffective posturing! I hope they spent millions on Facebook ads.. /s
yeah but it's australia. their under 16 is our under 91.
It's a proposal...
[insert every shitty law that has ever been passed]. It’s a proposal…
kautau: every proposal passes!
Australia: this proposal passes!
Do you know what's nice about logic? It's that claims can be tested. For example the claim "every proposal passes" one needs to find a single proposal that didn't pass.
Here you go 'No pathway,' Australian government abandons proposed social media misinformation laws.
Lol first, I never claimed all proposals become law. I claimed all shitty laws were first proposals, you just added my username to your comment.
Second, your article is from 6 days ago, including the article they are sourcing, which appears to certainly be incorrect: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/labor-drops-controversial-misinformation-bill-amid-senate-opposition/edyo8iqh9
I can find no other evidence it was scrapped, all my information is from hours ago saying it’s been approved.

You’re totally correct that logic is fun.
All bad laws were once proposals is true.
I said “all proposals become law” is false.
This bad proposal is now law is true.
The law would require biometric or government ID for age verification and prohibits parental consent as an exemption.
Fuck that noise. It’s almost as egregious as those US states that demand porn websites require Gov’t issued ID.
I don’t want copies of those documents processed by these corps; you just know they will use it to train their LLMs on it, store it inappropriately, and ultimately end up leaking them due to a misconfigured S3 bucket somewhere.
So now you can't use your voice to convey speech out of class, if you are under 16?
Because Air is a medium which can be used to socialise.
How will we ever control the minds of children if we can't control their computers? How will we even force our narratives on them without removing all counter-narratives? How can they ever be happy without taking away their freedom and information? Go Australia! Keep that delusional settler vibe strong! \s
