    Unfortunately you aren’t automatically entitled to this information that I imagine mostly comes from private for-profit companies.

      Yeah, because wanting important information to be freely accessible to the world is SUCH an entitled perspective, unlike pretending that secretly spying on your users and feeding them unwanted ads is justified 🙄

        I want free food and housing too, but unless I’m going out and creating it myself, I have to pay the companies that provide them to me.

        Im not completely arguing with you, I get annoyed by not being able to read stories from my local paper, but they are paying people to go get that information and turn it into a article. If that was all free, they’d go out of business pretty fast and then there would be no news, just Internet rumors.
