Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
That's a bummer. I was hoping EU countries would be inspired by Brazil to actually enforce some of their laws and ban Twitter as well.
Edit: as vxx pointed out, there is a positive way to interpret this outcome, and I was probably being needlessly pessimistic.
Dude finally found an immovable object outside of US.
How long until Elon throws a fit and fires people at Starlink until they ignore judge's orders?
I'm guessing the Starlink investors had a chat with him about a potential breach of fiduciary duty lawsuit. That's a stupid concept but Musk isn't going to win if he deep sixes Starlink for his petty vendetta.
Eh, still feels like a good chance he'd let his ego get in the way of sanity
Oh i'm sure he argued with them. Starlink didn't back down right away, after all...
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
Some people plan to get punched in the face. Don't kink shame.
As someone who had a plan until I got hit in the face, I agree.
My plan was to get punched in the face!!! Yet again, I am ahead of the curve!!!
Great plan, Face McPunchy
If they swing first, it’s self defense. Good plan.
Elon Musk is picking fights with everyone these days.
He's testing the limits of "fuck you" money expect "you" are national governments
I wonder when he’ll go to rehab. He’s so unhinged.
Typical. Send the lawyers first to intimidate. Then get told you have no case. Then walk back tail between legs.
Sounds a bit like how he ended up with twitter in the first place
I love that he is so stupid that he didn't realize he could back out of a legality by saying, "LOL JK."
Hey happy Lemmy bday! Nice little cake!
All while loudly mouthing off
Pussy. Go on, Elon. Make your companies play chicken with a national government. I'm sure every other national government out there will definitely back you up, because making a company above the law (without paying the requisite bribes) is DEFINITELY something that national governments want to normalize!
