Interesting article from a serious source. The paywall-free quota is 1 article so you should be able to read it. If not, others can post an archive link. Or else consider subscribing if you can afford it. Democracy needs independent journalism as well as independent encyclopedias.

Weird how the 'free speech(tm)' people seem to be very upset about speech such that they're buying or harrassing every single media outlet in existence.

Reality tends to make them upset. Information and knowledge are their enemies

They only know the phrase "free speech" but not how the first amendment actually defines it.
