2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Here’s the lawsuit for those interested; not a lot to it, barely 4 pages, and most of it was in the article. They don’t really go into more detail. This part was funny though…I would not want to be the victim of the exploding toilet.

Well, there you go: summary judgment to the Plaintiff. If you don't tell your customers that there's a fucking HATEFUL COBRA TURKEY keeping jealous possession of the Mens' loo, like some latter-day dragon guarding its hoard, you deserve to be sued at the very least, and just for starters until greater commensurate punitive action can be determined.
@PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works , this was initially to be a playful ribbing of what I'd thought was a typo oversight, on your part, of transcribing text from the court document.
But seeing that it's the actual text of the filing absolves you, and makes the typo oversight that much funnier.
Florida never fails to entertain and disappoint.
