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.

MODERATORS
Look at that, speech that goes against the mainstream is being pushed out. It’s almost like there’s an incentive for states with a history of financially and materially supporting Israel’s apartheid to hide the truth and manipulate narratives in their favor…
Article:
Ie. one of the things they're asking TikTok to not show children, is videos of Hamas taking hostages. Videos which would in fact help Israel's case, not hurt it.
Look, don't take this the wrong way, but when was the last time you read a full article and not just a summary?
Because it sounds like you may be functionally illiterate, given you jumped to the wrong conclusion so easily. Perhaps spend a little less time on the phone and social media, and more time reading full length articles or maybe a book or two. You're certainly not alone in this, it's a rising and worrying phenomenon, but something you personally can actually do something about.
That isn't misinformation
Sometimes I wish it wouldn't let you reply until a certain amount of time after you've clicked an article. Because I feel like a lot of people just jump right into the comments and start talking without reading.
"Think of the children" is the ultimate bullshit excuse when it comes to censorship by authoritarians, be they liberal, conservative, moderate, or anarchistic.
horseshoe theory
there are no liberal or conservative authoritarians. there is only one time of authoritarian even if they act like they either either liberal or conservative
Horseshoe theory is not a useful method of political analysis, nor is the left-right spectrum it is founded on.

Authoritarian comes in many flavors, and they all have different paths they take that end up with the same result, consistently increasing oppression of personal freedoms in the name of various types of safety or morality or justice or ethics. Anyone can adopt authoritarian ideals if they get to comfortable repeating rhetoric without applying any thoughtful considerations.
Horseshoe theory is something for people who refuse to actually educate themselves on ideology. Often espoused by ignorant people who are so thoroughly de-politicized that they think they have no ideology, never noticing that that thought it itself is something only someone extremely ideologically captured would have.
I love how you came for blood but dress it up as if you are being reasonable.
So, I imagine you realize that nearly all combat footage is available on TikTok. Footage of murders in the Ukraine/Russia war, videos of drones dropping grenades on people from above, videos of burning bodies in bombed out cars… videos of Israeli settlers kidnapping children from off of the streets and beating them to death… it’s all there. Why is this treated so differently from that? Aside, If showing oppressed people taking actions to liberate themselves hurts your opinion of them, you already were on the wrong side of history.
In the article:
Wikipedia:
Ie. they're sending out warnings under recently enacted legislation.
Apart from the legislation being new, it isn't. They've been warning companies about this for a while now, before the whole Israel-Hamas thing started. Some examples:
TechCrunch, April 2023:
US news, January 2023:
You keep missing essential bits of the article and not connecting the dots.
Notice the weasel word of terrorism? So, what Hamas did was terrorism, but what Israel does on a daily basis is just what… geopolitics? I’ve yet to see a state that calls to ban Israeli nationalists from platforms for spreading complete falsehoods, like the whole beheaded babies lie that’s going around now (and being amplified by the president of the United States). That is definitively misinformation, and the use of such falsehoods to attempt to justify Israel’s response is itself an act of terrorism, using fear and intimidation to pursue political goals.
They released proof of the murdered babies thing today. Feel free to check my comment history for a link if you want. The PM of Israel posted some of the pictures on X.
That wasn’t my claim, I said they’re spreading misinformation claiming that babies are being beheaded, and the president of the United States is amplifying that claim, on National TV to boot. Something which no one has proof of, not the Israeli government, not the American government, no one.
That is sad though, I haven’t seen the dead babies myself yet, thankfully.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I'm saying they literally provided proof today of those dead babies, some of which were beheaded. It makes sense Biden would have been shown them before they were made public, too.
This is exactly what I am claiming is incorrect. (Writing this to be absolutely clear)
Edit: found a really good article about it https://www.reuters.com/world/nato-ministers-shown-horrific-video-hamas-attack-2023-10-12/
Edit 2: in the article it says the white house later clarified Biden did not see the images, this is incorrect. The white house correspondent said it could not be confirmed, not that he had not seen them. Those are two very different statements lol.
It literally says in your own article there is no evidence of beheaded children or babies.
You realize you’re the one spreading misinformation?
You betcha’
LOL it's not like there is room for interpretation on objective truth. Mainstream = what we see, but you want us to disbelieve our own eyes.
What objective truth would that be? That Israel is an apartheid state that has engaged in active genocide for decades?
It’s fun that you like to state fact as if it were ridiculous.
