Many websites provide free access to a few articles, and then switch to some form of blocking. I suspect 2gypsies has accessed more WSJ free articles than you have. And has crossed a pay wall threshold of the number of free views allowed.

Jay But there are many that deliberately post misinformation and lies to further their personal agenda, never mind what is true. They operate on the belief that if you tell a lie enough time, people will eventually perceive it as truthful. There needs to be a way to flag outright untruths as such.

That is the reason that both politics and religion are not allowed on this or many other forums. It is very difficult to discuss any subject related to either without emotions getting involved.

Lately politics seems to have created the same situation with political opinions and sometimes other subjects. There is a fine line between debating and arguing.

Randyretired Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Under DHS the Biden administration has created a new board to confront misinformation on the internet. This board was assembled days after Musk and Twitter agreed on his purchase. So maybe the government will decide? This isn't the forum to discuss that but it appears as if there is another player involved. Randy 2001 Volvo VNL 42 Cummins ISX Autoshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
