News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post 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] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post 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.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

MODERATORS
Unfortunately we just don't do that. In Europe they call them consumer protections. Here we call them "regulations" and complain endlessly about how they hurt business
Uh, no. There's some small minority of companies that complain that regulations hurt businesses.
But the vast majority of people want regulations.
Your father didn't spend much time screaming at Fox News growing up, I take it. Lol.
That's like saying there is a "small minority" of Americans who were willing to vote for a known rapist, pedophile, and convicted felon. It's a big enough group.
Sounds like you have a bias. Most people aren't like that, only 20-30%
It sounds like I understand the right wing quite a bit.
My dude, we elected a man who just was forced to pay out for sexual assault and defamation. Things are not as good as you seem to think.
The US is not a democracy. Trump has very little support.
Irrespective he won the popular vote with nearly 80 million. Calling that "little" is obscenely stupid.
You don't understand how percents or first past the post works, then
