It tastes really dystopian to me.

Suppression of news is how you get a flu that most likely started in Kansas, USA (or if not that, East Asia) to be called the Spanish Flu.

But only if you know one weird trick that the news papers don't want you to know.

But seriously, it is a filter on non web-savvy individuals, the exact type of people who need to hear truth the most.

paywalls basically all "real" news

they cry everyone is getting their news from tiktok and facebook and hexbear and it's all dis/misinformation

wants all those things banned and policed, maybe considers just maybe making the news free for a few months to push propeganda

I basically assume any news behind a paywall is unimportant
