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.
-
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.

Here, here!
A shame about this though,
and blocking access to the IP address of X’s servers from inside Brazilian territory,
Was hoping that the court order there would shut down X globally. If only X were hosted in Brazil... well, one country at a time is better than nothing.
How would one country just shut a service down globally?
To the best of my knowledge, typically this is only possible under two circumstances:
when the service is solely hosted in that one country - then the shutdown order prevents the service from getting out to anywhere else.
when the service is only hosted in a few countries, and they all have agreements with each other (think Canada + US, or a service that's hosted in multiple countries but they're all in the EU). Then the other countries typically follow the agreement and the service is jointly shutdown in all, leading to a complete blackout (but if one country refuses - or the service has one host outside of this group - then it can continue).
A third option might be if the domain name were registered in the country (think like twitter dot com dot br) then the country has the power to seize the domain and block access that way - though it's just a stopgap measure as the company can get a new domain and slowly rebuild the brand etc.
Moraes has done some very good stuff and probably saved Brazilian democracy from Bolsonaro, but recently has been caught in some corruption scandal as well.
At least I hope he still has enough political pull to smack Musk a bit.
