Breaking news from around the world.
News that is American but has an international facet may also be posted here.
Guidelines for submissions:
Where possible, post the original source of information.
If there is a paywall, you can use alternative sources or provide an archive.today, 12ft.io, etc. link in the body.
Do not editorialize titles. Preserve the original title when possible; edits for clarity are fine.
Do not post ragebait or shock stories. These will be removed.
Do not post tabloid or blogspam stories. These will be removed.
Social media should be a source of last resort.
These guidelines will be enforced on a know-it-when-I-see-it basis.
And nothing of value was lost. If you are getting your news via Facebook you are doing it wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_News_Act doesn’t only apply to facebook… it’s extremely broad, unenforceable, and likely to be repealed
I’m not on Facebook for the news, I’m there for the comment sections.
