World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Fair but Necessary
Doesn't seem very fair
Just because something is legal does not mean it is ethical.
No doubt! And just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's unethical.
The problem is practical. If rules are not written down then you can have punishment without justification, and as an individual you can't depend on fair treatment by the state.
True, but this is a law, so it is written down.
Definitions of "criminality" and "extremist organizations" subject to change without notice, of course.
Ah, then it's definitely a bad law. (I'm on a limited connection and loading pages is very slow, so I hadn't read the article.)
I'd really appreciate it if articles made a point of actually linking to the damn law, but in this case I guess it would be in Swedish.
Yeah they should link to it anyway!
And yes, this is a bad law. Rushed in a few months before an election by a right-wing coalition including the fascist SD. Things went badly so now they're throwing scraps to the frothing racists in their base in a desperate attempt to maintain power. They don't care if it's a good law, it's chum for dumbasses.
According to my state's written down rules, there's a void for vagueness doctrine that's written down. In practice, though...ay yi yi
Can I ask you a genuinely heartfelt and good-faith question?
How is it fair when someone shitty is allowed entry who ends up hurting civilians but civilians are expected to suck it up
How do you actually fix that without acting prophalactically, even its seen to be unfair or prematuew?
Civilians are expected to suck it up? Why? This would only be true if it's not illegal. If it truly hurts civilians, why not make it illegal instead?
It is fair because if a Swedish citizen did something that "hurts civilians" but is not illegal, the victims would also be "expected to suck it up."
Making some things only punishable if you aren't Swedish is exactly what you would expect from the fascists in SD. Not really something to aspire to if you're a sane, caring individual. It is the definition of unfair.
Can you give me an example of someone hurting civilians without breaking the law?
Having darker coloured skin and just existing hurts civilians apparently
If that's not a thing, then this law just does absolutely nothing!
But of course it is. I mean I feel pretty annoyed and it is also a health impact if someone is smoking next to me at a traffic light. So it hurts me, but is not illegal (I think it should be but that's besides the point). Someones place of birth should have no impact on the consequences of such behaviour.
As far as I'm aware theres already an enormous issue on that side of things
Not a fan of capriciousness but if criminal issues cant even be dealt with, maybe thats a necessary step in the evolution of a workable larger system.
However, all these things should equally or allocate sufficient joint liabillity to the employers. If you feel the need to infringe on guest's rights, that discussion is arguably inseperable from and should be understood to be complete or even appropriate without bringingthe sponsor to the table.
They are often the root of any local or global problems in this domain and its a true tradgedy that they shirk accountabillity to their underlings/hires when they are oxygen to the flame
So because the legal system has failed, they have to punish people outside the system?
How exactly is one supposed to stay on the right side of the rules when they aren't even written down?
Obviously the solution, if the legal system fails, is to improve the legal system, not bring in an official "sorry we know this isn't illegal but you're brown so.... unlucky" system
On the subject of improving the (legal) system, if it doesnt affect the employers equally or moreso I've found, it really doesnt matter what is done or not done. They somehow always escape the discussion unmolested
You're right that crime ("side of things" I think) is a problem. It's a problem everywhere.
You're wrong about it being a necessary step. It's political pantomime at best, it's racial dog whistling at worst. Adding extra rules won't solve crime as you pointed out there a potential of being misused.
It takes a large effort from politicians and a native population open to identifying what are the causes of crimes from the immigrant sector. Lastly, it takes money and resources, which no one wants to foot the bill for.
I don't know what the solution is, but this isn't it.
At some point, if nobody is cool with footing the bill, it raises an exponentially larger question of why is there a bill in the first place, who made the order underlying it, and why the subscription should continue or ever even existed before these pesky underwriting decisions were supposed to and failed to be made writ large
That needs to be explored. Is it ever ok to dispute that bill and send it back + refuse to continue until the order is made right?
