A defamation case launched by Patel got SLAPPed down, with the Judge calling Patel a mentally substandard idiot who cannot understand hyperbole.
So its now a part of US case law that Kash Patel is not “A person of reasonable intelligence and learning.”
Normaly I’d copy paste the entire article but apparently that is now a dire matter of copyright law, so uh, editorializing!
If the full text of a non paywalled article is posted, and then also an editorial is appended by the poster, this probably counts as transformative content, and is thus fair use.
If the full text is posted and there is no clear commericial gain, its not monetizable, its again also probably fair use.
(Hrm…)
If hardly anyone reads the specific post of the copy pasted news article, in comparison to the number of people who actually go to the website, its probably fair use.
In conclusion: lemmy.world apparently thinks it is a very big and important player in the online world, and may or may not be monetizing our posts to it.


That’s extremely interesting, OP, screenshots to reread later. Thanks for posting.
I can only hope you figure out a way to sell those screenshots as NFTs.
😂
A fool knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. This is not directed at you OP, just a general observation for general purposes, wrt general audiences.
