A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

This is great news for Canadians, meaning they'll be free from dragnet surveilance, as the five eyes monitoring system relies on other countries to spy on their citizens for them as a legal loophole.
Way to go trump, keep going, dismantle the five eyes entirely.
Oh, no!
-Vladimir, stroking his white cat
Huh? The other 4 can still spy on Canadians. They just won't share the info with Canada.
So Canadian citizens are safe from prosecution then by their own government.
They can and will be prosecuted through legal means. As for illegal means, if it's a big enough deal you can bet the other 4 countries will accidentally leak the info.
Yeah I dunno how anyone thinks this is a good thing. I mean, the destruction of the alliance wouldn’t be bad, but removing Canada from an existing one is just declaring info war.
This phrase is way overused, for good reason, but I’ll use it again: I fucking hate this timeline.
as the five eyes monitoring system relies on other countries to spy on their citizens
But useful idiots kept warning about China spying on me through Huawei without evidence.
Don't make the mistake to think that reliance on China is not a security threat. It might not impact privacy, but at least from what I heard here, big network operators are unable to maintain their networks without support from the hardware vendors, and not just in the sense that they need updates, patches etc, but that the OEMs rather do everything and the providers just slap their label on it.
Now us has trump spying on them for russia
The US should be axed from the alliance at this point, honestly. No intel shared with us can be trusted to be secret, even to our 'enemies'.
I wouldn't be surprised if filters are in place for sharing Intel
First, US wanted UK out of five eyes. Now Canada. Pretty soon, it'll be one eye.
yep, the united states is the brown eye of the world
Best thing Trump's ever done, if his team can do it.
Five eyes is why your government legally has real time data on everything you're doing regardless of local privacy laws.
Exactly.
They're not spying on their own citizens, that would be illegal. They're simply allowing other countries to spy on you (legal) and then they "share" data with each other.
The net result is every FVEY agency doing an end run around laws that exist to prevent government intelligence from spying on its own citizens.
Add in data brokers who buy all your data stolen by Facebook and Google and re-package it for sale and Big Brother can have all of the data that they would get from spying on you without being bothered by silly laws that prevent them from spying on you (they didn't, the UK did).
I could have sworn I saw UK too, but can't find it anymore.
It was in response to the UK trying to get Apple to put a back door in their advanced encryption for all Apple customers, not just UK citizens.
Something tells me that an intelligence community alliance between the U.S., the U.K., and three former United Kingdom colonies could well do without the United States, just sayin'.
Australia as well please, get us out of this stupid security pact
I’m starting to think this Trump character isn’t on the up-and-up.
If they're going loose an eye, it seems likely it'll be the orange one.
Gotta make room for Russia huh?
WHAT?? YES!!!
