On come on, this is nonsensical click-bate. How can you declare with a straight face that Baidu

>which controls two-thirds of China’s online search market, appears to have been active in suppressing information about the 2019 pro-democracy protests.

Is a less evil company than Airbnb

> some investors were purchasing New Orleans properties, evicting their tenants, and converting them into short-term rental spaces, aka Airbnbs

You might as well insist that glass bottles manufactures are evil because their product is used to make Molotov Cocktails.

Same way that they mention “fake news” in the first paragraph of their article. Many of Slate’s articles are heavily bias. You can determine for yourself if heavy bias == fake. Either way, much of “news” today you have to take with a “grain of salt” ...unfortunately.

I'll expand this statement a bit.

All sources of information today may provide false, biased, or limited data which is used by the source to subvert the will of the person receiving the information.

Therefore, an operational and well trained bullshit filter is critical for anyone living in modern society.
