A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

No shit, check the list of countries who cut informations from their people and you’ll easily understand why it causes a backlash.
China, Iran, North Korea to name a few.
Every day, we stray further away from democracy with Macron. Le Pen is gonna win next time and it will be mainly because of him.
Well most of the EU countries including France blocked all media channels from Russia
Media channels from Russia are basically just spouting putin propaganda so why would they want to be subjected to that?
Many countries are spewing propaganda bullshit, including and in majority coming from USA. I don't think media channels from USA should be blocked.
Switzerland is doing the right thing, they never blocked any news channel or limiting freedom of speech in that way.
Wtf does this have to do with some degenerate country's right to shill their low intellect propaganda?
Same could be said for USA. Because the person above mentioned China, Iran, North Korea blocking media for political reasons. I mentioned that EU countries are doing the same. We should not have double standards.
If france wants to ban american propaganda, I am sure no american will shed a tear lol
Everyone agree that's the state has authority over foreign bad actor speach. We are discussing here state censoring their own citizen's peach which is highly problematic esp in so called "democracies"
If france wants to ban american propaganda, I am sure no american will shed a tear lol
I strongly disagree. If they didn't care they wouldn't be buying media companies abroad.

Not everyone agrees. Allowing a government to decide who is a bad actor and ban the media is bad, that's how countries fall into dictatorships and create narrative for their citizens. Just look at nazi Germany.
You are clearly missing the point and don't understand how the laws work.
As always working nAzI GerManY into dicussion lol
All countries permit the state to censor foreign speach... Most citizens accept this, censoring citizen speach is the issue.
