Was trying to read a news story and… What fresh shitfuckery is this? Why do I now have to pay money to a company just for the privilege of not being spied upon and not getting your cookies that I don’t want or need? How is this even legal?

RE: “Why are you even reading that shitrag?” – I clicked on a link someone posted in another sublemmit, didn’t realise it was the Sun till after. I do not read the Sun on the regular, chill. My point stands regardless that this is extremely shitty and should probably not be allowed.

OP, The Sun is one of the trashiest rags on the face of this Earth. Your best option regardless of their ad practices was always to stay well away from them.

you can block websites if you want if you’re on voyager. It’ll filter out posts which link to whatever websites you list.

oh man that’s an incredible option. i was already super happy with the “share as image” option they have, but it seems like they just keep outdoing themselves

Radical approach, because I might miss the post with interesting comments, and people often provide alternative links or straight up embed summaries.

And they’re not even the worst in the UK.

I forget which one it was that decried the Brass Eye paedophile special as sick, while on the page directly opposite it was an article telling you how big 15 year old Charlotte Church’s tits were getting along with a photo.

Daily Mail?

Brass Eye was incredible for shining a light on media and political hysteria. Their episode on drugs was hilarious and tragic.
