> But if America’s access were further restricted, it would be a blow to the site, and to many of the “capitalists” that use it.

The Verge are definitely misunderstanding Elbakyan when she says this:

>"the capitalists have started blocking Sci-Hub domains, so the site may not be accessible at the regular addresses."

Elbakyan is referring to Elsevier and the ACS and the other major publishes putting pressure on SciHub and making it inaccessible. No capitalists are using the service in the Marxist sense of the word "capitalist" which is definitely what Elbakyan was going for.

The Verge's writing here misrepresents what she's saying, and truly does change the message of what she has said. I think they need to edit and fix that.

Elbakyan says so herself as well: https://twitter.com/Sci_Hub/status/961829490803449856

And she'll go into more detail later: https://twitter.com/Sci_Hub/status/961836113731072003

Yeah, she seems to be making a point there that Verge's usage seems to be (unintentionally) obfuscating.
