News websites wanting to charge you money in order to read their articles. 💵

    The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was created on December 10th, 1948.

    Here’s a link related to Article 19 (the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers):

    And while you do have a point when it comes to the history of paying for the news, i think there’s a clear distinction between paying for a paper newsletter or Cable TV, and having to pay for a small, individual article, no more than 2 pages long. (Because let’s be real, so far there are no news websites worth paying a subscription for).
