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.

Why the fuck!! Do they put a picture of European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, right beneath the headline about a completely different person, Tatjana Ždanoka who is the alleged spy?
That shit should be illegal, people will see the image of Metsola and think she is that bad person.
THIS IS THE PERSON IN QUESTION:
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/28619/TATJANA_ZDANOKA/home
How hard can it be to put up a picture of the right person? Even the text beneath the picture is confusing, and implicates Metsola unless you read it carefully!!
This is extremely shitty journalism, Metsola isn't mentioned anywhere in the article, and the picture of her is completely unrelated to the story! Are they trying to smear her?
What a fucking shit site to boot. I tried reporting the article so they could change it, not one link for giving feedback. AP sends out the message that they don't care about facts, ~~dus~~ just clicks.
I found it.
It's under "contact us" at the bottom of the page:
https://apnews.com/contact-us
Choosing "For feedback or corrections on an AP story, please use this form."
Will give you the feedback option:
https://www.ap.org/contact-us/contact-the-newsroom/
But IDK if I want to trust them with my contact info?
Their privacy terms are a bit lengthy making them somewhat obscure:

Tough call mate, personally I wouldn't risk it. Unless you have some fake email and login info laying around.
Maybe reporting it to the cabinet of said duped politician will help more?
AI don't care.
I had to think a bit about this one.
But that could be the explanation, the article is about a member of European Parliament, so the AI decides to show a picture of the president of it, as a "prime example" of a member?
It's like whoever/whatever included that picture has a complete lack of sense of context and significance. Which could more easily be ascribed to an AI than a human being.
It would also explain the somewhat confusing text for the picture, that seems like an attempt to connect the picture to the content of the article, where there is no connection apart from "European Parliament lawmaker".
Yep. It was the first image that probably came across in the scrape of information, so it slapped her photo on the story. AP should immediately swap out her photo with the accused and apologize profusely.
You know I was oohing and aahing over how fucking young this woman looked at 73. Wrong picture makes more sense.
I was fr going to snoop this random parliamentarian's instagram for skincare tips.
