- tannerbrockwell 6y agoI see this as the logical progression of the destruction of traditional media. It began with Craigslist and the gutting of classifieds revenue. If media companies cannot see that allowing a gate keeper to control access to stories is going to put the nail in their coffin, they don't deserve to continue. This is most certainly the existential moment for newspapers in 2020, not for the censorship, but that the ability to censor does exist and it is being used.
