See title. Axel Springer bought Politico, and it has ties to the CIA, having received $7 million from them, as well tries to force Politico employees into supporting the genocidal apartheid state (Israel).

They also lack journalistic integrity in that they doxed freedom activists, such as those from Palestina.

There’s more in here.

    Firmly against. I think banning of sources should only even be discussed if talking about sites spreading things like CSAM or (glorifying) depictions of violence like executions. Not because they spread opinion or even propaganda of any kind. I think people especially here are able to discern propaganda for themselves. And it needs to be possible to discuss it. Those outlets already shouldn’t profit off of the couple of clicks they receive because most people will be using an adblocker. And if they don’t, they really should.
