A community for discussing events around the World
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.
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.

So you got in trouble for breaking the law then turned that into a statement about the bad evil surveillance state while you hold water for a party trying to erect a surveillance state in the US?
Seems stupid, but I guess that's what you get when you are primarily an "entertainment" channel.
Also hilarious that they're complaining about the jaywalking laws in China when they're only just catching up to the level of stupidity that the US has had for ages.
Like shit, American companies coined the term jaywalking ffs
Before cars took over our streets it was just called "walking".
Jaywalking is only illegal in the USA if you aren't a white man.
They're upset because the "backwards commies" are better than them at a game they thought they were the champions of.
trying to erect a surveillance state in the US?
It already exists in the US. They just want to add to it.
erect a surveillance state in the US
Have you already forgotten the Snowden Revelations???
One Fox News viewer offered a more measured perspective, "Cool, that's how parking enforcement works in NYC, DC, Chicago, LA, London, and basically every major city with cameras," adding, "You park illegally, the system catches it, you get a ticket."
The same commenter elaborated, "The only difference is the speed of the notification. Most US cities mail you the ticket a few days later. Beijing sends a text the same day. The technology is faster. The system is the same.
If "automated parking enforcement that texts you when you violate the rules" is communism, then NYC's $238 million in annual camera-issued parking tickets is the largest communist enterprise in North America."
I'm getting a kick out of this comment because I just got a ticket from NYC because their 30x20 pixel camera decided someone else's plate looked like mine. I live in a different state and haven't been to NYC since middle school. The car is completely different from mine. /rant
Fuck Fox and its viewers though.
I one time got a ticket from one of the Carolinas. The farthest east I've ever been is Arkansas and the farthest east any of my cars have been is Utah.
Parking illegally is a sport in NYC
Some schmucks will even play the game of "maybe this loser will pay my ticket."
I was legally parked with a work van and came back to a ticket on my windshield tucked under the wiper blade. I knew I was parked legally so I opened it kinda pissed off only to see the ticket was written for a red truck and I was in a white van lol what a prick...
Those scumbags will ticket work vans if they are below quota b/c they assume you're too busy to fight it.
I wouldn't mind China arresting fox news for being political agitators. Those "Press" badges are fake.
They themselves argued successfully in court that they're entertainment, not news. So yes.
Anyone working at Fox news lacks the emotional capacity to feel humiliation or embarrassment.
Humiliated for USians: Has to deal with the consequences of a legal system 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good. Fuck Fox News.
Hahahahaha suck it Faux.
The world would be a better place if everyone in the US treated these bigots and freaks as heavy handedly as Chinese citizens do
I'm just glad Faux "News" was humiliated
There's jaywalking laws here??? That's news to me.
