I disagree that American-right leaning people are anti foss. rather FOSS is great because it has zero political inclinations. Rather, as some who interacts with all sorts of people across the political spectrum, in fact most of my friends who are American-Right leaning or republicans, are the ones pushing hard for foss software, my American-left leaning friends are more generally neutral.

Rather, I think that in general, the more politically inclined someone is, regardless of political stance, the easier it is to convince them to be pro foss.

#Apnews is Tor-hostile. I do not support excluding people so I shared a link that is open to the public and inclusive.

If AP News would have also blocked archive.org (thus public libraries) then I would not have shared the link at all — out of respect for #netneutrality (access equality).

It's to avoid trackers and/or paywalls, and also to preserve it just in case. But yes, to each their own.

Usually people put links to sites they don't want to support in archive, so that the sites are deprived of traffic, leading to a reduction (albiet small) in ad revenue and possible paywall popups

I was more interested in the blatent political attack that some conservatives hurt foss in education.
