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.


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. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. 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.

heir members "will suffer irreparable harm, as they did in the wake of the 2015 Order. In particular, petitioners' members will be forced to delay or forego valuable new services, incur prohibitive compliance costs, and pay more to obtain capital."

'please no, were only making billions of dollars and our profits should be guaranteed'

What "valuable new services" could they possibly be talking about? Is the internet fast? Does it stay on most of the time? What the fuck else do they think people want?

Clearly they've found a new way to bundle your internet, cellular, satellite tv, auto insurance, pet walker, and lawn care, all in a new ultra-value^† bundle.

^(† ultra-value only available for first month, cancellation fees may apply; we reserve the right to package and sell your totally for realsies anonymous usage data)

Who doesn't want a bunch of packages bundled in at a low price* where the advertisement does not list the extra fees?

*for three months and then your bill will double

Irreparable harm? Yet... here they are... making billions. Is this sarcasm?

Fucking rich asshole ISPs whinging about having to follow rules.

GTFO already.

Oh, that's why mine suddenly removed the data caps... Here I was hoping we might be getting some decent competition. Eh, will take it while I can until the next FCC flips the rules again.

Won't somebody think of the poor destitute ISPs?
