World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

How is it YT is still playing videos produced by this clown?
Youtube has no morals, no standards. It is a business, and their business is eyes. The more eyes, the more ads, the more revenue. Everything else is nuance.
Also he isn't convicted yet.
Does YouTube only deplatform people who have been convicted of a crime?
I have no idea what their standards are, but if I were running the company I would deplatform someone convicted of human trafficking when their videos are basically justification for human trafficking.
I'm glad you would, but that wasn't what I was asking about.
I answer what you're asking about in the first 4 words
If you have no idea then what does this comment mean?
I'm not exactly looking for snark just some clarification to your comment.
It's an internet forum, and I'm tossing out plausible reasoning YouTube might have.
Thanks for letting me know what I'm commenting on, have a nice day or night.
I'm still angry that Jordan Peterson gets so much shit thrown up on YT. As a Canadian, I'd just like to say we prefer being associated with Beiber.
Beiber gained some maturity. Those other two, not so much. I feel your pain.
Still a wifebeater tho
Don't worry. After watching Trailer Park Boys, all Canadians are like this. Prove me wrong! /s
It's just water under the fridge.
You sure it's not rocket appliances?
Frig off Ricky!
I will forever associate Canadaland with Celine Dion. That’s not bad.
Out of every "Conservative influencer" Peterson is the least unpalatable.
You mean mr I'm-addicted-to-Benzos-and-to-detox-I-let-russians-put-me-in-a-month-long-coma-resulting-in-brain-damage?
Yeah? I mean, I don't agree with him on most things, but for all you can criticize him for, why that?
Drug dependence doesn't make someone inherently a bad person, nor does being Russian.
Oh you mean the boy toy singer who spitted on his fans that like his music. Yeah? You want to be associated with that piece of shit?
That's a far preferable world to Jordan Peterson, yea.
Imma catch hate here, but I'm a woman, and I like the guy. I watch some of his stuff, though I don't dip into his lectures on religion. Just not for me.

you're at the narrow end of the wedge right now. "put your shoulders back when you walk", "clean your room", "don't lie", all good advice that can be had anywhere. it's just that the further into it you get, the more you arrive at his core philosophy, which is that there is a natural hierarchy to all human relationships and that cishet white men should be on the top of it because they're the only people capable of bringing and maintaining order in the face of the "chaos dragon" of femininity, and that the history of violent western european dominance over much of the world is to be taken as prima facie evidence that violent western european dominance of the world is an ideal to be asserted wherever possible. it's repackaged "white man's burden" stuff mixed with a bunch of badly misinterpreted freud.
My understanding (entirely mediated by the Behind the Bastards episodes about him, so take it with a grain of salt) is that he never posted directly to YT; everything of his up there was and continues to be reuploads from his followers. So, regrettably, even though Romania has thrown him into a hole in the earth, Tate-stans will continue to spread the bad word.
Right, but YouTube have already proven that they're perfectly prepared to take off platform activities into account.
Hey, thanks for that! It makes me feel a bit better about it! I sometimes watch Behind the Bastards and haven’t disproven anything they claim, but I don’t always take the time to fact-check them, either.
I've caught a few slips of the tongue and minor errors when Robert touches on things I have particular knowledge of, but not any gross misrepresentations. The warning was more along the lines of "I haven't gone to primary sources on this" rather than casting aspersions on the podcast.
Noted. Thank you.
