      While you certainly are entitled to your opinion, I think 404media is one of the rare “good guys” I would be willing to provide a masked email to AND expect to not be harassed repeatedly

      Interesting. The .rss has the full article.

        are you a paid subscriber? because from what I’ve read, full articles via RSS were supposed to be a paid perk.

            I’ve just added 404 Media to my RSS reader, and it’s definitely not serving the entire article. this one ends at

            “However, the overwhelming majority of people using tools like Session are everyday people who value privacy, and we believe this is true of those who are seeking an alternative to Telegram at the moment,” he added.

            other articles similarly end somewhere halfway through compared to the website.
