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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Let me guess... What China is doing in the South China see is also no intimidation tactic...
No that's a border dispute. Pretty much every country has them. And it's completely unrelated to the point at hand about a global intimidation ring targeting individuals. Nice try with the false equivalence tho 2 or 3 more debate bro tactics and you might catch me out on some asinine technicality so you can declare yourself winner despite being factually wrong.
I'm from Germany. I don't think, we do that over here...
I mean... Those intimidation stations exist in my country. They are still here. Not sure what exactly your point is.....
And their behavior in the South China sea is pretty much based on intimidation and aggression. That's well documented.
The Wikipedia article you linked cites allegations and then that multiple official investigations found insufficient evidence to classify these offices as illegal policing operations or intimidation stations.
"They could be intimidating people in ways we can't prove" isn't an argument, it's an unfalsifiable claim, and a hallmark of bad-faith debate.
The South China Sea is a separate territorial dispute. Conflating it with a supposed global campaign targeting individuals is either a deep misunderstanding or deliberate obfuscation.
I've addressed the sources, the evidence, and the logic. You've doubled down on vagueness and false equivalence. I'm done. If you ever find verifiable proof of coordinated illegal intimidation (not allegations from American funded NGOs, not speculation) feel free to present it. Until then, I'm personally done with this.
