  Pay-walled news should be banned on HN unless it really is the only source. There are a bunch of outlets not hiding this story behind one and linking to a paywall is just terrible for engagement. Here is the UK announcement https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-investigates-facebook-s-use-of-ad-data https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-investigates-facebook...

    I did a quick search for other news sites with the story before posting but couldn't find (this page appears to be free to view if you have an account) It's on Reuters and Bloomberg now: https://www.reuters.com/technology/eu-antitrust-regulators-investige-facebooks-marketplace-2021-06-04/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/eu-antitrust-regulators-i... https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/facebook-is-vestager-s-next-big-tech-target-as-eu-opens-probe https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/facebook-is-vestager...

    Posting pay-walled sites is not banned here, but complaining about them is, so please don't bore everyone with it.

    If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread. This is in the FAQ at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and there's more explanation here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=paywalls%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989
