    Bad bot linking to pay walls and not posting the article text.

    It’s incredibly important to do so because conservative and right-wing media is all free. They don’t paywall anything. This is part of the disinformation brain-drain. The quality, real stuff is locked away but the bullshit is out for display.

    Start displaying the real stuff.

      If you mean this article on Wired itself, it’s not pay walled, though annoying. Click the V (chevron) to hide the Subscribe Now thing.

      Or if it’s indeed pay-walled in your area, open it via Germany by search this -> https://metager.org/meta/meta.ger3?eingabe=A Controversial US Surveillance Program May Get Slipped Into a ‘Must-Pass’ Defense Bill
      find the article, and use the “OPEN ANONYMOUSLY” link. Many annoying things will be filtered too.

      If it’s free, you’re the product. (In this case the target of propaganda.)

      This used to not be true for things that were not only free-as-in-beer but also freely licensed; but nowadays literally the only reason why anyone in their right mind might want to edit Wikipedia is that they think they can influence public opinion that way, so it is definitely true there too.
