Nothing, they don't know either, they just heard it or read it online and now they feel absolved from the duty of political thought (which is just applied ethics in the end).

I mean yo run the risk of banning some stuff regardless of if you only ban us politcs or eu politcs. What would be a reason why questions about european politcs would be any different than us politcs. best would be to just ban polutics in general, while keeping lifestyle/economical stuff etc, this would however require some nuance

Edit: to specify i don't mean to ban European specific questions, just eu-poltics.

Keep the rule as it is, and take those kinds of discussions in communities meant for political discussion. There's already enough of US politics everywhere else.

Fair, but nuanced rules are difficult to enforce, and somewhat open to interpretation. This leads to people trying to skirt the rules and also good faith posts which break the rules which leads to conflict also.

I think it's better to keep things as simple as possible, as long as the rule is good enough.

I'll have you know that's a presoak original.

And when you deepthroat the meme of the hour, and jump and froth and babble angrily in lockstep, you aren't achieving diddly.

Totally agree.
But let's for example say someone asks a question about something related to economics. I think it would be unfair if Europeans could answer a lot of stuff about politics, while Americans are pretty limited.

Imo It already requires nuance at the moment, the only thing that would change is that all users would be treated the same

Where do you draw the line between world news and politics? I mean the president launching airstrikes on Iran for Israel's forever war, is that politics? The US annexing Greenland? The US bullying the EU into letting tech run roughshod over their users?

What about the EU imposing age checks and chatcontrol as a trojan horse to get inside liberal democracy to id every account and every ip and connect it to id cards and likeness, and run everything a person does or says through AI threat detection, run by Palantir type organizations, to make secret social scores to be used in secret in myriad ways against people in ways they can never know and not challenge? Is that politics?

It's impossible to extract world news from politics completely is it not? I personally have been ignoring whatever dumbass shit the president has been saying, and political news myself, just trying to follow events, but you can't separate them completely.
