@molly0xfff My favorite was during the height of COVID all information regarding COVID, especially local, was behind a paywall.

It was the Wall Street Journal, which has had the hardest paywall I've encountered since its inception. I was quoted in an article in the 90s and I had to go buy a damn paper to see it.

@NecroBelch @SueShannon @molly0xfff I did mention COVID-19 information and I live in DC so WAPO would be local. But I think something like a pandemic, the information should be behind paywalls.
