A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.
If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.
Rules
- Follow the aussie.zone rules
- We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
- News posts must include some body text explaining how the article is particularly relevant to the Australian perspective, rather than mere global news.
- Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
- Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

a somewhat alternative view that i find amazing: https://reclaimthenet.org/the-meta-settlement-what-it-means-for-speech-and-privacy. seems Meta is ok with the big $23Billion settlement because it will give them more profit in the future.
I bet you're not surprised. I'm not either.
Evil generates profit, and capital funds evil. It's a feedback loop. They use their resources to condition us to serve them, directly or indirectly. We need drastic change.
Totally agree.
