World News
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.

Did we just watch a woman get abducted by sex traffickers?
Assuming they're federal agents, then yes.
Can you give me more information about federal agents doing sex trafficking?
Well, President Musk has been accused of helping Epstein's trafficking, we know for sure that his Oval Office puppet was involved.
Your argument is that because Trump and Musk engage in sex trafficking personally that "federal agents" do more broadly.
Searching online for "federal agent sex trafficking," I see a news article from a few years ago that undercover federal agents purchased sex from a victim during an investigation; that's about all.
It's the same principle as what you call 9 people at a table with a Nazi. These agents deserve no nuance.
I don't believe that if you work for a sex pest that makes you a sex pest. That would mean everyone who's ever worked for Weinstein is a sex pest.

It’s already dirty and now the dog collars are off. Wake up.
Believe as you wish, but if a person works for a boss that they know to be a sex trafficker, doing things sex-trafficking-adjacent, or at least illegal, for him, that's good enough for me to declare that person a sex-trafficking POS.
Also, I don't think for a microsecond that goons given this kind of power and impunity over detainees are going to refrain from sexual assault. We just haven't heard about it yet (this time).
But, well, pick your lane.
A lot of them where. Way more of them knew something but said nothing than should ever be possible.
Just because something is new doesn’t mean it’s not real. Culture comes from the top…

You're not wearing the right color hat to understand (tinfoil)
I read the comment from !SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social and thought,
"Yeah, I'd believe that the Venn diagram of POS people that get into sex trafficking and POS people that want to be ICE agents has a pretty large overlap."
ICE is a black hole. People go in and disappear, until months later ICE representatives inform the next of kin they died in custody. But I feel like the amount of human rights violations that get reported by ICE pales in comparison to the ones that get swept under the rug. Especially now, with Trump's 2nd coming. It could be bad, like the eurocentric world hasn't seen in a long time.
I guess my hat is tinfoil colored.
I have my tinfoil hat at my side and I'm eager to put it on, just give me the conspiracy theory and I'll bite.
If unmarked, unidentified people start grabbing at random students, you have the responsibility to intervene. Police must wear clothing that identifies them, show a badge, or be accompanied by uniformed officers..... Otherwise, just shouting I'm the police isn't good enough for me.
Not to defend it, but it looks like at least two of them have a badge hanging around their neck.

Given the reports coming out of the detention camps: yes.
