The current policy is that articles from sites with easily-bypassable paywalls are allowed.
The WSJ paywall is not easily bypassable. The usual techniques to bypass paywalls are inconsistent with WSJ. Sometimes opening the 'web' link in an incognito window works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, there's no way to get to the article.
The WSJ paywall should not be treated like the NYT paywall. It's a different animal, and it shouldn't be allowed here because it fails the easily-bypassable test.
