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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.

More mandatory overtime for her staff. She'll never know it happened unless one of her social media managers sees it on Twitter and mentions it to her.
And then they buy more red spray paint on Amazon because Walmart was out .
Side note, didn't the movie company make bank from people buying those V for Vendetta masks to protest against corporations or something? Vague memory of it
Yeah, between Anonymous and Occupy Wall Street those masks were very profitable for the people being protested against.
I’m sure their brief and ultimately pointless unpopularity was well compensated for by those extra revenues.
That's what I don't get.
The owner of the yacht doesn't give a shit. It's beneath them.
Those activists just made a headache for the working class crew who run the yacht.
Good work sticking it to the man's working class employees! /S
They got their message on international news, and they did it targeting the super wealthy instead of blocking traffic or otherwise hindering innocent people. Frankly I don't care if the crew has a 'headache' being paid to clean up some biodegradable paint, they're just being paid for one task instead of another. What actual harm of any kind has this done? The benefit might be small but it's nonzero unlike what most of us are doing.
Reminds me that the point of protest is to be disruptive. Oh, you're blocked on your way to do your job? Your job is to do your job, not to fight other workers on behalf of your employer
I don't get the whole 'protest should not ever inconvenience anyone, ever' line of thinking- if I'm travelling for work and I get stuck in traffic behind a protest, I bill my time and that's how I pass the disruption signal along to where it needs to land
They're creating jobs by fucking up the yacht aren't they?
Or is it only billionaires that "create jobs" when they fuck up the entire world?
Because targeted vandalism is easier and more satisfying to animalistic urges than the long work of organizing political backing, running for office, enacting societal change
Mate people have been trying all that since the 70s and it didn't achieve much
