This might be a mildly infuriating moment

Free speech also entails how willingly you are to put that speech out there. If you want to cover it with a paywall of any sort, you are most welcome to do that. Keep in mind that free speech and its actions also have consequences. If your content is good enough, people might pay to see it. Free market and all that.

Good Independent journalism requires money. You can't have everything for free you know. If you want to keep your privacy then you should pay for the news sources that you read.

Edit: I'm not american I do not know if USA today is good journalism or not. I am speaking more generally

Advertisements are pretty specifically not free.

On the contrary, I believe free speech gives me the right to JUST SAY NO. Don't give in, you have that right as an individual.
