A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Wiki requires citation. It's pretty easy for a government to have someone go in there and revert it for being uncited.

At what point is information considered public, once it is public or once its declassified?

[–] Maggoty 5 points 3 days ago

According to the government, once it's declassified.

In the United States, at least, it's not illegal* for regular citizens to publish leaked documents of whatever status. It is illegal for security clearance holders to access information they're not cleared for, regardless of where that info is. If an Internet forum allows classified leaks, that would make it difficult for security clearance holders to safely browse that forum.

  • There are statutes on the books that would punish this type of behavior, but they are usually considered to be unenforceable because of the first amendment to the Constitution. Julian Assange was a notable example of a non security clearance holder non-US citizen who was prosecuted under the Espionage Act. (Or at least an attempted prosecution that never quite cleared extradition...)

Once it's been declassified. Executive Order 13526 specifies the necessary procedures. Among other things, it states that the original classification authority must set an expiration date, after which the information should be declassified.

If an earlier date isn't set, documents will be automatically slated for declassification after 10 years, or a maximum of 25 years(at the discretion of the classifying authority), barring certain exceptions.

That's the american governments rules yes? I'd imagine its not too different for the Italian government.
