Because the laws, as I understood them, apply to platforms with social interaction with strangers. (Watching YouTube is ok - logging into YouTube is not.) Whereas I understand Substack to be essentially a one-way channel.
Substack has comments.

The law restricted accounts. Not reading. But this was not what you said surprised you.

Yeah but I was unable to even read the article.
