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.

Italian judges strike down request to hold migrants in Albania (www.nytimes.com)

The ruling was a major blow to the conservative government’s plan to have asylum claims heard in Albania instead of Italy.

Italian judges on Friday struck down a request by the government to hold a group of migrants in a detention center in Albania, ordering that they should be taken to Italy, in a major setback for Giorgia Meloni’s flagship policy of outsourcing asylum requests.

It was the first ruling on the new policy since Ms. Meloni’s right-wing government began carrying out the plan, with the Italian Navy this week bringing a group of migrants to a center built in Albania to hear asylum claims from refugees who had been bound for Italy.

The judges’ decision, which for now applied to only 12 migrants, could likely apply to others, casting doubt on the future of an approach that other nations, and even the European Commission’s president, were looking to as a model. Italy’s interior minister, Matteo Piantedosi, said the government would appeal the judges’ decision and that it was ready to take the case all the way to Italy’s highest court.

Under the plan, Italy is seeking to send migrants rescued in the Mediterranean by Italian ships to the Balkan nation, where their asylum claims would be assessed. Only “non-vulnerable” men coming from “safe countries” were to be taken to the centers there. (Italy considers vulnerable men to be those who are ill and disabled. Both Egypt and Bangladesh are categorized as safe, according to Italian law.)
