On the aside, where's the difference between someone posting a Twitter link and an Economist link? Both are locked behind a wall, whether it account-wall or pay-wall.

if we would ban everything that is not 100%: free, ad-free, tracker free

The Economist isn't owned by someone who cheats at video games, subverts the government, and thinks Nazi salutes are funny.
