Guardian and Observer journalists have asked people not to share Guardian stories for 48 hours from midnight tonight (Tues), to respect their strike and the virtual picket line
I mean, sure, more power to them but that is not how the internet works? Just ddos your page, come on.
Yeah, dude, just commit a cybercrime with a maximum sentence of 10 years instead of just asking people not to use the site for 48 hours. It’s genius.
That’s why you do it in a country with no extradition treaty or cyber security.
It’s also actually effective.
Less links = less ad impressions, less impressions = less money.
Can’t get ad revenue if the site’s down.
Is there any background to their strike?
They don’t want the Observer (Sunday paper) to be sold off. www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/…/ar-AA1vfVC8
Thanks.
(If anyone else from the UK wants to read this link you’ll need a VPN)
If they sell off the Observer, they’ll lose a lot of their TERF columnists like Sonia Sodha, which would make it less problematic to link/subscribe to them.
Is that my Timezone or theirs?
GMT since the Guardian is a UK paper.
you should change the title to the correct dates
wouldn’t it be more effective if they put a strike notice on their page and shared things prolifically
I’m confused… Tues, or 5-6?
Lol, I don’t read tabloids.
The Guardian? A tabloid??
Are you the same idiot who called The Independent a tabloid last week or are there TWO people that clueless about British newspapers here? 🤨
Heyo I’m that clueless. Although I at least know it’s the sun that’s the tabloid (Liverpool forever or something)
