Free Republic would be very little without links, and videos cannot be embedded here, no way to share them without links.
How about linked articles? links are links.
here the FR list of acceptable and not acceptable stuff
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1111944/posts
have to look thru the thread to see what has been added\removed.
no mention about acquisitions
We at FR violate these a bunch (mostly out of ignorance)...assuming they are still in effect.
(ps...I’ve seen videos turned into gifs and run here.)
What I’ve seen as a way around this is, is if some legitimate site posts the article of an illegitimate site.
Seems to happen all the time...a no-name site will post an article and at the end, attribute it to let’s say “Wired”
So... what if Wired (not legitimate) posts an article by the NYTimes(legit) ?
gets messy...
what does this have to do with this original discussion ? not much.
Only providing a basis of what is accepted\not accepted at FR.
