A community for discussing events around the World
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 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.
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.

i, for one, look up to a day when oil exports aren't enough to keep that parody of a country running
Nah man that line city’s really gonna do it for them, you’ll see!
Buy an electric car to give a middle finger to the whole OPEC cartel
my ride is a bike, i need no car at all
It's despicable that the US continues doing business with this horrible fucking country. Instead of turning their country into glass they're buying and selling those scumbags whatever they want.
Well considering "turning their country into glass" would require murdering 35 million people, I'd say let's not do that.
Oooooook 😜
What if we just did the east side?
you still have iran around, which ironically would probably do better out of these two when oil market irreversibly crashes (they do have actual industry other than oil, some farming and don't need to hire sudanese for them to die in what passes for "army")
Boy. The government that must silenced it's critics to remain in power must be really weak.
What a cheerful bunch of lads this royal family seems to be! Would gladly drink a beer or two with them at the local pub!
So logging on to the Twitter of someone you don't like and tweeting bad things totally doesn't happen, right?
This would only be a concern to someone interested in justice, not to the Saudi government.
I think everyone should make critical tweets of the Saudis to big down the court
Now that Saudi Arabia owns Twitter this is going to be more common
45 years ? Wow.
That's the lighter sentence
Maybe it's better to get the death sentence than 45 years in a Saudi prison
Pshh, what could be worse than 45 years in prison? 46?
They aren't 'tweets' anymore, so it's fine, right?
I this this is too harsh.
