>But the main controversy is centered on a strawman: should the New York Times cite sources in their articles? 100% yes. In the cyber security field, this has become such a problem. Several prominent cyber security news consolidating sites will put out very impacting articles, but remove any and all references where the information comes from. It is a nightmare of news reverse engineering. I also have a vague suspicion that the articles are scraped from the original sites, and re-written by automagically with ML tools. That is, vast majority of these articles are auto-generated. Nothing wrong with it, but no way to prevent such scraping, and no way to compete SEO with them.
