> Civil liberties groups are warning of a major threat to online freedoms and First Amendment rights if a leaked draft of a Trump administration edict—dubbed by critics as a "Censor the Internet" executive order that would give powerful federal agencies far-reaching powers to pick and choose which kind of Internet material is and is not acceptable—is allowed to go into effect.
Why doesn't this article directly link to the allegedly leaked documents?
The quoted paragraph (the article's first paragraph) contains a link to a Tweet which links to a blog post which links to a CNN article.
AFAICT, none of them link to the actual documents.
To future journalists: link to the documents in your article. Otherwise you run the risk of readers writing the whole thing off as a misinformation campaign. This possibility can't be ruled out at this point.
