Is it enough to wear a suit, or have a title, to get away with this. They don't even try to justify anything anymore. They are simply betraying humanity to let some organisation win, this is not just a matter of 1 country.

new app/something idea: public-private partnership between transport and news orgs, allowing you to bypass paywalls while connected via the bus/subway/train wifi
was recently surprised by nostalgia for those newspaper vending machines they used to have on the street, especially near metro entrances. I hate carrying coins and hate throwing away paper and yet.
