Wow, news corporations eliminated 12ft.io from the internet this week

Btw, if you're European or using a VPN and you get those "this website isn't available in your country" bullshit from American News outlets who don't wanna respect your privacy, you can use 12ft.io to bypass them.

12ft.io has been killed by the News/Media Alliance

12ft.io was taken offline on July 14th.

“Publishers commit significant resources to creating the best and most informative content for consumers, and illegal tools like [12ft] undermine their ability to financially support that work through subscriptions and ad revenue,” News/Media Alliance president and CEO Danielle Coffey said in the press release. “Taking down paywall bypassers is an essential part of ensuring we have a healthy and sustainable information ecosystem.”

While I completely understand and support that journalists need to be paid for their reporting, and that good journalism takes significant resources and time… I’m not sure you can really claim that an information ecosystem is “healthy” if the only people who can access well-researched and validated information are those with expendable income. Especially right now in such a destabilized economy where people are barely scraping by with essentials, and where misinformation and propaganda is rampant and easier than ever to create in a way that looks legitimate.
