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.

So what is the process for this phone search? Anyone been through it?
Edit:
"They threatened me with a minimum fine of $5,000 or five years in prison if I refused to provide the password to my phone."
Add that's why certain employers already give a burner phone to their employees if they have to go to the USA.
Well vance is immediately informed and provided a live feed. The strip you and bring you to a very handsome couch. Vance gets very disappointed when you just sit there but he just takes you and the couch he hand picked in and manages to rub one out.
“They threatened me with a minimum fine of $5,000 or five years in prison if I refused to provide the password to my phone.”
Jesus Christ. Reminds me of Eastern Europe in the early 90s.
It’s the blimp scene from Indiana jones, except he says “no password” instead of “no papers” after he throws the guy out of the blimp.
Plot twist, the guy is a memer and did that on purpose to make his meme go viral. That can only be the reason
According to my very scientific study for the past 20 years, half of the adults with a driving license don't know how to drive a car and would kill someone to get 5 minutes earlier to their jobs. Half the adults in this world is a fucking moron (a few billion people), that's my explanation.
So are they also going to detain and strip search the owners of any website hosting similar images? Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg.
No, billionaires are above the law.
Well I for one find this claim entirely credible (unfortunately).
Also, more JD Vance memes! Yay Streisand effect!
I'm on a campaign to only use the name he got from the idot that spwned him: James Donald Bowman.
Ofc he's now simping for another asshole called Donald.
I don't understand this, why not call him the way he wants to be called ? He's despicable but his name isn't the problem, I don't see how calling him Bowman (or calling Donald "Drumpf") is making any progress.
And it kind of undermines the discourse that we should respect people's choice as to how they define themselves.

I do respect peoples choice, but in this case I make an exception. It's him who denies people the right of identifying as themselves. He's a homo-and transphobe who supports the notion that people should identify as they are born, and thus I comply. Once he changes his tune in that regard I will respect his.
It's not like calling Trump Drumpf, Bowmans' mother changed his name and after that he changed his own to not be reminded of the identity he was born with. I use his deadname to spite him on purpose.
JD Vance only eats the cat food part of lucky charms pass it on.
I heard he puts his cast iron skillet in the dishwasher.
I heard he took the lightbulb out of his fridge because he doesn't believe it turns off when he closes the door.
