    Technically this is more US news than world news, but it’s World News enough, and has enough up and down votes that I’ll allow it.

    Rule of thumb:

    Event happening somewhere in the world outside the US? - World News.

    Article about how Americans feel about an event happening in the world outside the US? - Not world news. Maybe news, maybe politics, would depend on the context.

    But Americans reacting to a world event doesn’t make it world news.

        It doesn’t matter where the poster is from, it’s where the story originates.

        A bunch of people going to Washington D.C. because they’re upset belongs in News, not World News.

      So wait… lemme get this straight; the USA isn’t in the world?

      The US is OUTSIDE or SEPARATE from the world.

      Ok. Got it.
