Policing the digital cartels

This subtle change makes proving intent much more difficult. Is it just that these things are so complex we didn't see that interaction? Or was it on purpose.
Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or link bait.
That's not true. Agreed that some are having issues, and it's not clear why, and I agree that's a problem. That said, some are not. I don't have a subscription and the web link works for me.
You've gone on about the paywall without acknowledging that you've tried the suggested workarounds which were already posted in the thread.

It's one thing to express what you've tried and what doesn't work for you. It's another to continue complaining about it without recognizing that it's not a universal problem. Please show some nuance.
When you say "some are not," you actually only mean "I am not". Please show some regard for other people.

As I said, I agree it's a problem. Quite a few people are indeed having issues viewing ft.com submissions. If I knew what was different about my setup and why it works, I'd be sure to share. Safari 10.0.2, Ghostery 5.4.10 blocking all 4 trackers, in the US.
If you think ft.com submissions should be blocked, I suggest contacting the mods (see contact link in the footer).
It worked for me on my iPhone over T-Mobile's LTE network. It is now working for me at home from Safari on my Mac over Comcast. In both cases, I hit the "web" link, and click on the top result.
