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.

i do find it slightly horrifying that in romania they can just decide to put you in prison indefinitely without having to prove you did anything
They did release him because they can’t do that. However, he then told his buddy that he’s going to flee the country, who then talked about that on his livestream. That's a new offense that lead to him being arrested again.
What? Why did I put known idiots to such high standards I need to reread it a couple of times to believe it. For fuck's sake, it's a ready winner for some award.
i'm referring to his initial arrest
Its very common for people to be arrested and jailed pending a trial. All over the world.
Especially when they talk about fleeing the country.
And are a menace to society
when tate was initially arrested he was held for months without being charged
I, too, find it "slightly horrifying" when countries don't allow serial rapists to walk around free.
Edit: I'm happy to spend today banning and deleting your multiple accounts troll accounts defending Tate, whoever you are.
i'm not defending tate he deserves to rot in prison
i'm saying that a government shouldn't have the power to just dump you in prison without having a reason for it
when tate was initially arrested he was held for months without being charged
being absolutely fine with a system that allows that because in this instance it happened to fall onto a guy you don't like is brain rot
you think the osu protestors that were just released without being charged would've been released at all without a law requiring them to be charged within 24 hours?
i have literally no idea what you're talking about and it makes you sound unhinged
Then you should take a look at both what is left of the two comments I deleted from the troll accounts and the modlog of their deleted comments. But maybe I'm just unhinged and none of that exists.
I mean this happens all the time in the US. A teenager killed himself after being locked in solitary without a trial for aaaages.
They even have laws about when you are not entitled to a legal represtative and when you can be held idefinitely.
They also have an illegal detention centre on foreign communist soil to subvert their own laws.
The UK has similar over reaching laws.
Besides Tate was a flight risk so was held pending investigation.
Don’t act like Guantanamo is related to it being on communist soil. We started renting it from Batista, the guy the Cuban revolution was against. The Cuban communists have never cashed a check for it and insist we’re illegally occupying it
That other countries do it doesn't make it not horrifying. Almost all your examples are horrifying.
Only the last one isn't. Being held pending trial if you threaten to flee the country? That makes sense.
My last point why was why it wasnt horrifying.
But I would argue being held pending trial and being held pending investigation are two dfferent beasts but in this case I am happy.
Maybe don't go to a country with a corrupt justice system to comit crimes in if you want a fair trial? Just a thought.
And if you do, don't brag about it on YouTube.
Simpsons did it first.
He's innocent.
Funny how you know that.
Only that’s not at all what is happening 🙄
when tate was initially arrested he was held for months without being charged
That is absolutely legal, in practically all countries.
if you're arrested in the us, you have to be charged or released within a specific timeframe
they can't just detain you indefinitely for fun
Right, and that’s exactly how it went with Tate. And I have a feeling you know that? Either you’re playing dumb or you are dumb, and either prompt me to hang up on this time waste of a thread.
simply put, you don't know what you're talking about
Is your username in reference to your treatment of Tate's member? You realize if you're willing he don't enjoy it right?
The US has the same ability under the patriot act laws.
The judge who approves it has to have some serious reasons. He's a foreigner, wealthy, and accused of serious crimes. You don't get held for months for stealing a loaf of bread. You can also only be held while evidence is being collected pending a trial.
It does suck that law enforcement worldwide can pick you up off the street, fuck up your afternoon/day/week/month/life and then just say 'oops, you're alright'. If you have a better way, you'd be a revolutionary mind.
Funny how .. You don't know what you're on about.
in the us, if you're arrested you need to be charged or released within a fixed period, usually up to 72 hours
tate was arrested in december, held for 3 months without being charged, was moved to house arrest, then was charged in june
Yes
can you just not read
Can you prove what you've said without referring to countries like the US? It has no relevance.
what are you asking me to prove? that tate was held without being charged?
Can you just not read?
buddy if your replies get any dumber i'm going to have to assume you're an andrew tate fan
It's literally what you said to me. Your response speaks volumes.
lmao
Pre-trial detention is common all over the world
If you don't like that, don't look up rikers island.
He went there thinking he can pay himself out of the charges so my empathy is limited
