Are you aware this was not the first action of this type? Maybe read beyond the headline.
They can't, it's paywalled
Well, the $4.8 billion from the headline is in conflict with
That could be a clue it's not been the first and only action of its kind.
Or did I miss the sarcasm in your reply? 😅
Reuters is not paywalled lol
The article is 2 paragraphs long.
You are correct. Let me rephrase. Registerwalled
I am not registered with Reuters. I can read every Reuters article.
They are an independent news distributor, from whom major news networks pull reporting consistently.
Reuters is one of the best sites in the world if you just want facts as they exist
I'm not posting the screen shot, it sends me to a pop-up that reads, register for free to continue reading reuters.
Nothing I've said has refuted Reuters as a reputable news source, it's quite well known that it is.
I'm still not registering with a website to read its content occasionally.
What country are you in? Perhaps it's related to locality?
US
Man that's super weird. Idk dude. Got no answers for that one lol
It is weird. I can go to Reuters and search their site and read the articles but if its a linked article it gives me the registration pop-up.
