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.

My benign Reddit hug of death
China's malicious censorship of data
lol lmao even
Where's lemmy.ml, telling us all that China is actually the peak of liberty?
Where are the tankies with their chad china „memes”?
Example #253 of why the Chinese capitalist system sucks.
It's called Energy Oil. It has want plants need and fuels you for the day.
Problem solved. No more fuel trucks transporting cooking oil discovered.
Tried searching "fuel+truck+cooking+oil" on baidu and it gave me info on Tiananmen Square, so I'm lost.
A health and safety scandal in China?!
I am shocked. SHOCKED!
Thanks for bolding the most relevant text. The Guardian's headline is confusing until you get to that part.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Previously, Shipping Help’s tracking function could be used by normal people and businesses to inquire about the location of specific trucks, using satellite monitors.
The reports led to fears that oil that may be contaminated with toxic chemicals is finding its way into people’s food.
The news caused outrage in China, and the government has vowed to investigate and punish rule-breakers.
After the scandal was first reported by Beijing News, a state-run outlet, earlier this month, people started to independently track where the potentially contaminated oil ended up.
There has been some surprise that a state-run outlet was allowed to publish such a damning report, given the government’s strict censorship regime.
Some people speculated that the removal of Shipping Help’s tracking function was motivated by a desire to limit the size of the scandal.
