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.

Best of luck to her.
And how idiotic the frenzy over a photoshopped picture where a sleeve was changed...JFC. Focus on important stuff.
Now can the press leave the woman alone?
Gawd, just saw a Cate timeline on CNN, so I guess the answer 8s no.
It broke the rules the image publishers set, was issued a kill notice (pull) and no one knew the extent to which it was edited. The lack of communication after drove speculation.
Regardless, fuck the monarchy, the amount of attention they all get is ridiculous
The fact they still exist is ridiculous
On the other hand, how dumb do you have to be to photoshop a picture and release it like that? That's just asking for the frenzy.
Kate owned up to that. Or did she...
If you want a private life you pull a Harry and Meghan and tell everyone to get lost. But she has chosen her path and her health is a matter of state. So no, she is not entitled to privacy on the matter.
Uhhh didn’t they both do an interview on Oprah?
Sure! That's the great thing about being a private citizen. You can live your life, go on shows, go on private vacations etc. Because it's your life and you can choose how to live it.
If you are taking on a role of state leadership you don't get to do those things.
You have a privileged role with access to roles, and wealth, and information, but the trade off is that your life is not your own. Your health and relationships and connections are a matter of national interest. So you don't get to slip off for a weekend without telling people where you're going. And you don't get to hide medical diagnoses and medical treatment.
It's kind of her job to be in the media. If the press leaves her alone she will be out of a job.
Is there sick leave in her "job"
No she is a member of the Royal family. Only death removes her from that.
I think it's a curse and it's shit. But that's the world we love in.
It is the only way the royal family continues to exist by being in the media.
Such a curse to live an easy life with unimaginable wealth.
