Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

What? They literally aren't journalists and this literally isn't journalism. It's click bait to get people to click that donate button.

They may not be journalists, but this certainly is news.

"They campaign against abuses of human rights worldwide."

The information shared seems to be high-quality and relevant to their cause. It certainly isn't "10 bad things about Saudi Arabia, number 7 will shock you".

Yeah it's not serious news for serious people. It's click bait. Not as transparent as your example perhaps, but not much different.

If the article is clickbate then it should be easy to respond to the serious points (for serious people) that:-

Saudi Arabia’s 2022 Personal Status Law, creates gender-based discrimination in

  • marriage,
  • divorce,
  • child custody,
  • inheritance.

Saudi Arabia’s authorities supress freedom of expression including expressing support (ie tweeting about) for women’s rights.

Saudi Arabia must demonstrate its commitment through concrete actions domestically.
