Edit: This rule seems to be much more nuanced and requires more thought than we had put in, please continue to discuss below.

It is NOT in effect at this time but highly recommend for regional subreddits at least.

~~The above rule has been added to the instance and will be enforced instance wide.~~ This rule is very common within most existing communities where news articles are shared and avoids sensationalizing the story or attempts at steering discussion by the user posting the article.

Thanks for the very detailed response.

With this and along with other responses, it's very clear that this rule isn't appropriate in a instance wide fashion and should be left up to each community's discretion to decide if they need it or not, with encouragement from admins in regional communities where editorializing can be a more serious issue.

We will discuss within the team from this feedback and go from there.
