    Had to look twice to check whether this was a screenshot of a Grand Theft Auto game.

    In a normal timeline any negatives for platforming a sex trafficker would out weight any expenses on this lawsuit, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they cave to pressure from Trump and settle for 10 million.

    I’m glad he gets to waste not only his money, but Meta’s and TikTok’s too.

    I don’t care much about any of those three. But if they get into a fight, I hope they all die. At least financially, but some broken bones would be nice as well.

    Nobody owes you a platform.

    But I’m glad I get to see so many shitty people/corporations fighting each other.

    I hope he wins, or at least costs the companies as much money as possible.

    This censorship needs to end.

      Tate deserves less than nothing.

      Other people deserve a voice.

        People should have a voice even if they use it to say things you don’t like.

        Edit: These downvotes make me glad none of you are in a position of power outside of your internet circles.

          These are privately owned services. Forcing them to be a platform for specific voices is the opposite of what you’re advocating for.

          As for myself, I’d prefer to live in a society where voices of hate and bigotry are not amplified.

          He can have a voice, but he doesn’t necessarily deserve to be paid.

          Gaza reporters are being censored and they aren’t even asking for money.

    How does one get so self important as to think that someone owes you a megaphone to the point you demand $50M for not letting you spout your drivel?

      Its the first line of the article. I don’t like the guys either, but reading more than headlines is something everyone should do, and is partly to blame for the sensational news bullshit we deal with today.

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.
