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 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.

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.
Well holy shit, when did they grow teeth? ... and balls?
Don't worry. The supreme Court will find a reason that their existence is unconstitutional soon
The new rule, or teeth and balls?
The entire existence of the FTC lol.
Oh damn... I gotta think bigger.
I mean they haven't just dismantled entire agencies yet. The closest they've done is lean on a pretty basic idea - the rule making power those agencies have is power that belongs to Congress and is narrowly delegated to the agencies by Congress.
This means that such agencies cannot make rules that contradict legislation passed by Congress and can only make rules within the span of things delegated to them and no further (because Congress only delegated the power that Congress actually delegated and nothing more, even if it is related or feels like it should fall under their remit based on the name of the agency). Hence why the FCC can place controls on the content of radio or broadcast TV but has no say over the content of cable TV or streaming services - their power over the former is tied to their control and licensing of the use of the airwaves as a public commons (which they were delegated pretty broad authority over) which simply doesn't apply to cable or streaming.
Yes
Pshhh how else would Clarence scrape Harland's balls?
Since Lina Khan took over.
Lina Khan has balls.
Even something positive always needs to be a backhanded compliment on lemmy
I'm sure the regulator isn't going to be offended.
