"Days later, Tam reversed his decision and decided that Li had a case to answer, saying it was the defence who must bear the burden of proof, not the prosecution."

Holy crap. You could be accused of anything and if you can't prove its a lie then bye bye.

Guess what? We have that in the US too. It's called civil asset forfeiture. Only your property is on trial and you have to prove it wasn't used to commit a crime.

Yup, and we should 100% abolish that nonsense. And while we're at it, let's abolish qualified immunity as well.

Surprised the admins let this stay up despite it's "orientalism" (aka not supporting CCP fascism)

I mean...incidentally everyone seems to be more concerned with poking the bear in this thread, than the actual topic being discussed....

World News@lemmy.world removed an opinion peace critical of the CCP. Check the mod log filtering on my name. So now I post in lemmy.ml which seems to have a more mature culture of debate and discussion based on search of opinion posts and pinned politics post of the lemmy.ml owner.

I just looked at the mod log for that community and it doesn't show anything removed with your name, nor anything related to the CPC or China at all. In fact, there's almost nothing in the mod log for that community; it seems to remove hardly anything.

Might be under my instance infosec.pub. See https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=606019

Opinion article. Please feel free to repost with facts and a better source. See the sticky post about missinformation and news soruces. >Thanks

As long as they're consistently removing all opinion pieces then I don't really see a problem.

Did we actually get a lemmy hug of death? Or is this likely just a bug on Lemmy's side?
