What's the policy on wholly paywalled content if it's the primary source? The article is light on some the facts presented in the FT article (like revenue stats, and the fact that Weibo's market cap dropped by $1B after the ban), and other than mentioning Papi Jiang, it's really just the FT article reworded. However, the FT article is completely behind a paywall, although it's accessible from a Google search. The main reason I'm asking is that while I think the FT article is substantially better, it is behind a paywall, while the Mashable article isn't, so neither are ideal.
