What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

When his housemate answered the door, he said, they barged inside and burst into his bedroom

What an asshole. This is why you need to talk to your housemates and make sure they know their rights.

Never answer the door for police. Just ignore them until they go away.

Does this apply in the UK?

All bobbies are bastards

The police doing this shouldn't be allowed a moment of peace

As a citizen of the UK, I want to say ~~this is disgusting and our nation has gone off the rails~~ I LOVE ISRAEL!!!

Despite agreeing with the sentiment, I just can't bring myself to upvote those last three words.

Believe it or not, straight to jail.

Where's all the "free speech supporters" now? (like the one who taught his dog to do a nazi salute)

They fully support this.

Everyone who uses Facebook should be raided

It’s a godsend I’m off that site.

A government with official policy, that has been reinforced publicly in last few weeks, of Palestinian State (presumably action needed by them above and beyond UK's official blessing of the concept)

Knowing that a specific group is being persecuted by UK, is difficult to track. It should not mean that sharing a universally human message authored by that group, where the name is credibly interchangeable with organizationless concept of "Action for Palestine's freedom", cannot be a crime or vector for Guantanamo Bay internment.

I'm unaware of this group taking credit for violent terrorist event that made the news.

Westerners and their guilt from chastising a once abused child, to becoming the problem child.

[–] Maxxie@piefed.blahaj.zone 129 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Setting aside freedom of speech (as UK already did) why would you raid a suspect in a nonviolent crime with no material evidence to seize? Why not just send a summons?

Though I can answer my own question: state terror campaign to scare population into submission
