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.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


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.

TL;DR: Title says it all, article mostly gives space to Meta to waffle.

I am concerned here. both an email address and mailing address are identifiable, so is the credit card transaction - which is arguably more permanent than the other two items. I have no idea what the data retention policies of each provider might be - one can hope its absolutely minimal with permanent deletion after shipment.

please be ultra careful when you obtain medication you need; the zealots now have state power behind them and recent history has shown they are willing to use it.

as the ~~OP~~ above poster suggests (and my uninformed opinion agrees), pre-ordering is likely the best option so there is no immediate connection between the order and a medical event.

the most sickening thing... I hit the PlanC site via Tor - something I would never have bothered doing before, but now something I would advocate for everyone.

I feel physically ill by this.

edit: correct thread attribution.

I'm a cis man and picked some up just incase any of my women friends need it. Everyone that is pro choice should have some stashed away. (don't deplete stocks or inventory! Ask wherever you buy from if the have enough saved to cover their expected requests for the foreseeable future.)

If enough people have some on hand we can protect those that do get it themselves, those that can't get any themselves, and ourselves.
