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.

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.
-
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.

Just because two countries are warring, this gives a third country zero moral agency to strike random civilian ships bound in international waters.
Edit:
Currently, the Houthis are doing their best to exterminate LGBT communities within the borders of Yemen:
Amnesty International
I suppose under Article 1 if the cgppgc that gives any nation carte blanche to step in and attack them to stop this, right? ... right?
Yemen is obliged by international law to do everything in their power to stop Genocide when they see it occurring. And Yemen has concluded that israel is committing Genocide. Thus they are forced to do this.
Article 1
Genocide convention Wikipedia :
Which particular international law is Yemen bound to in its role towards preventing genocide? And what the fuck does that have to do with attacking civilian ships?
Article one of the UN Genocide convention.
Those ships are complicit in Genocide.
Show me specifically where in Article I of the UN genocide convention does it enable any nation to attack indiscriminately trade ships in international waters on the basis of genocides happening in other countries.
Indiscriminately?
Yemen only ships involved in Genocide. The video I linked explains it pretty well.
Do some research before you start commenting.
Nope. You're lying. And you dodged my question. I'll ask again. Where in Article I does it enable it?
Article 1 of the Genocide convention. it's mentioned in the video that you didn't watch.
And the video explains your other question too. If you watch it and still don't agree then you can tell me which point you think is wrong.
So I watched the video. Where exactly does he talk about Article I? On another note, I'm already quite familiar with Article I since I've been studying it since this conflict started. So, once more (third time) I'll ask: where does Article I enable countries to randomly attack civilian trade ships?
At 0:20 he talks about article 1. I'm not quite sure how you missed that.
The Apartheid in South Africa ended by sanctions and blockades. From past experience we know this is a very effective way to put economic pressure on israel to stop their Genocide.
Yes, he quotes Ansar Allah's justification for their attacks and how THEY invoke article I. But at no point does he even TRY to source or dissect Article I. He just breezes through it like it's a given. I'm familiar with South Africa too. Still, the Houthis are disrupting global trade (that's right: 10-15% of global shipping routes have rerouted to avoid it) by attacking civilian trade ships bound in international waters. Tell me again (4th time) where article I justifies this.
Ok first question: Do you agree israel committing Genocide?
I'm not sure why we're pivoting-again. It seems you do this a lot. I asked a simple question: where in Article I does it state that countries are free to attack civilian trade vessels bound in international waters?
I do not agree with Israel committing genocide. If that was the case though, it would be the worst genocide attempt in history as Palestine's population has doubled in the last ten years. Israel is really doing a poor job at genocide then. Syria's government killed almost 100k in the last decade. They're really good at it. Iran killed about ten thousand people in the Arab spring. Can you guess who Iran is backing in this conflict?
I strongly recommend going forward that you do not take the random statements by some individual on YouTube at face value. If you really care about international conflicts and politics, there are plenty of resources to study this stuff. I'll admit, it's not packaged in an exciting YouTube format with music and video clips, but it's there none the less. You can go read Article I ( or any part of the Geneva convention on human rights etc). There's plenty of ways of learning about this but it involves some critical thinking and leg work instead of having the information packaged nicely in byte sized yt clips.
Okay thank you for proving that you are a Nazi.
Oh, you can't engage with the topic so you're switching to memes? What a goddamn waste of time you are. Go back to watching YouTube clips for your news sources.
I could link you an 84 page document submitted at the UN which proves that israel commits Genocide. But I guess the UN would be too "Anti Semitic".
That's like the fifth pivot in this thread. Once more: where in Article I is attacking civilian trade vessels condoned?
Go to Wikipedia and paste the summary of article one at the top of the Wikipedia page here. If you still can't read it. it I'll highlight it for you.

Can you quote the part of the article you are referencing?
