World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Good, immigrants who support terrorism don’t belong in Sweden or any other Western country.
Send them back and let them live with the organization they support.
Yeah, this suuuurely won't be used to silence pro-Palestine protestors.
If they are non citizen immigrants and are advocating for terrorist organizations who incite violence then they aren’t a good fit for a Western Democracy and should be deported.
Support for Palestine is not support for a terrorist organization. But a law such as this could be used on a pro-Palestinian organizer on the false claim that support for Palestine is support for hamas.
Also, deported where exactly?
What constitutes a terrorist organization is up to the elected officials and police organizations to define. It is not outlined in the article.
Non-citizen immigrants who support terrorists should be deported back to their country of origin.
That's kind of the point, mate. In the current political climate I half expect them to start describing any organization giving humanitarian aid to Palestinians as terrorists.
But to ask the real questions: is providing material support to terrorists not already a crime in Sweden? Does having a Swedish criminal record not complicate eg visa renewals and make it harder for someone to stay in or return to the country? Assuming that's the case, why is this something that needs to be specially handled now? Is this actually a problem, or just a way to stoke racism and fear for political benefit?
Because what we've found is governments are so good at determining who is right in a particular conflict.
If they are non-citizen immigrants advocating for organizations who use violence to attain their goals then they are not a good fit for Western Democracies and should be deported.
Especially if they immigrated from a western democracy. They need to go back to their hive of evil and treachery. Pesky democracy havers.
Non-Citizens who support terrorist organizations then they should be deported back to their country of origin full stop.
If that is another Western Democracy then so be it.
The issue here is citizens are still allowed to support terrorist organisations since it's part of free opininon and free speech. So it's a discriminatory law, which is against the principle of rule of law and equality before the law.
If you read the article it states they are targeting non Citizens.
What are you on about
Yes.
So we should deport Israelis because Israel backed Hamas' displacement of the secular moderates with predictable results?
Don't pretend your hatred is principled.
I was about to say you are braindead, but it seems you are just American, I am really sorry.
Racism and sycophantic nationalism seems to be alive and well elsewhere in the world…
