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.

Israel payed a lot of money for google to push that propaganda
$42 million dollars. Basically nothing in terms of Google's bottom line.
They're doing this because they WANT to.
Where does this figure come from? Google got a sweet deal on a ton of office space in Israel worth more than that, for example.
hence my other two comments. this goes deeper than that payment. google is deeply invested in the global mass killing machine
Capitalism encourage infinite growth so google like even 1 dollars more
also google maps and waze have tons of israeli input
A rope or chain is payed out, a service provider is paid.
~~Don't be evil~~
I think they just added a period.
Don't. Be evil.
Acktually
They removed that motto when they rebranded as Alphabet
And they had to chose the most evil sounding name possible. The only name sounding sounding more evil, i can think of is something like global tetrahedron llc
they were a corporation since day 1.
being evil is unavoidable.
Twats talk about AI alignment, while ignoring that corporations are intrinsically aligned with evil.
We live in fucking upside down world where bloodthirsty genociders are covered for, and despicable right wing grifters that preached hate and violence are lionized.
Good for Poland. Fuck YT.
Not to excuse this, but isn't all of YTs report handling done automatically by some shitty algorithm?
What are some steps we can take to divest from google? It seems very hard
Google "degoogling".
Actually don't.
Search it on DuckDuckGo.
Access YouTube through Invidious.
Install GrapheneOS on Google Pixel phones, and /e/OS on other bootloader-unlockable Android phones.
Or go for a real Linux phone.
Swap Chrome for Librewolf or Firefox.
If you use GMail, move to a different provider.
Use Openstreetmap.
Replace clouds such as Google Docs, Drive, Calendar, and Photos with alternatives.
P.S. codeblock is so that markdown doesn't fuck up the line breaks
Broken link
I think the title/URL was changed, this seems to be the updated one: https://notesfrompoland.com/2025/09/15/google-rejects-polands-complaints-over-israels-manipulated-youtube-videos-about-gaza/
I don't know what to say, for me it works.
The link is dead
