    I mean, if you want to be pedantic, sure. News is the plural of “New”. :)

    But just because it’s new doesn’t make it news.

      I want to be pedantic because it is an important distinction.

      If the exact same text credited to the same person is posted on a news site and on substack, but you only consider one of them to be a ‘news article’, then the distinction is important.

      But thanks for proving you are a PTB by twisting my extremely clear point into absurd word nonsense.

        Correct, because blog sites have no accountability. I could set up a Substack blog, that would get removed too, as it should be.

        Same for Twitter. “But, but… they have a blue check mark!” yeah, as we all know now, means nothing.

          I understood the reasoning from the beginning, but thanks for making it extremely clear that the rules don’t match the enforcement.
