      “The government should prevent people from seeing this” is promoting censorship. Suggesting people ignore something is just a boycott.

      Unrelated to politico and Springer, wouldn’t you say that a lot of the current fake news, anti-science trends are pushed by grifters trying to make money by sensationalizing everything? How would you deal with people peddling falsehoods to get money?

            Do something. Its illegal, but somebody has got to start suing them. Crowdfund and start, I’ll be your first donor.
