So, I made the same post of a Variety article covering how basically the entirety of US news agencies are refusing to comply with new Pentagon press standards, I posted this to multiple World/Global news comms on multiple instances…
… and my post to World News on lemmy.world, with ~200 upvotes in ~6 hours, 20 comments, was locked and removed with reason “Internal US News”, at midnight my local time…

… apparently the lemmy.world World News editorial team doesn’t think it rises to the level of generally relevant to the entire world that basically all US media outlets (with the single exception of OAN, the most MAGA-culty news outlet) are unifying in a collective refusal to comply with the Trump Admin’s new military reporting standards.
No other World/Global News comm on any other instance that I made this same post to acted similarly.

… the meta-irony of this is physically painful to me.
Sure would be neat if the lemmy.world admins followed through on their recent pledge to reevaluate the staffing of their mod teams.
Weird how that threat isn’t only to US media but all media.
Media attempting to access US resources in the US.
The example was of us media boycotting but the Pentagon is requiring it for any media agency
