Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

Europe, you're supposed to be better than America, not replicate what makes America trash. This is backwards.
America gets digital freedom with pedophilia and hate speech
Europeans gonna get 1984 message scanning and read only websites
Wtf is wrong with europe? Everyone surrendered to tech companies last year. Why?
We have been battling these assholes for decades. They only have to win once, we have to fight all the time. Money does this, it's that simple. Money is power, therefore democracy doesn't matter, ideals don't matter, only whatever people with money want matters in the end.
Because corruption.
We have all the wrong people in charge across the west, from business to government to organizations. The wrong people choosing the wrong people, choosing for being nihlists, they believe in nothing other than self interest oftentimes.
An inevitable consequence of not having a clear separation of money and state. Money and profit has taken over as the sole guiding imperative of civilization, it doesn't matter what we think, only what is financially expedient.
Or like stated here EU Advocates for stronger EU harmonization argue that a unified market is essential for creating viable pan-European investment models, particularly for high-capacity fixed networks and future mobile technologies. Industry groups have consistently called for longer, more predictable spectrum licensing and consistent award conditions across the EU, arguing that national divergences impede deployment and escalate costs.
And, per July 2025 joint statement by consumer and civil society groups urged the Commission to preserve robust net neutrality within the DNA and voiced concerns regarding proposals linked to the “fair share” debate, including ideas for dispute-resolution systems between telecom operators and online services. Hence, Europe’s commitment to the principle of net neutrality is reaffirmed, mandating equal treatment for all Internet traffic by operators, a stance maintained despite industry calls for a less restrictive regulatory environment.
I read the headline as "Getting Nut Neutrality" and wondering if it was Novemember. I need like 20 more minutes of sleep.
