WIRED will be removing the paywall from new coverage based on Freedom of Information requests. Huge thanks to @katie-drummond.bsky.social for leading the charge on this
They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

It’s been a busy few days in government. We reported today that the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has been put on a cease-work order, effectively putting Big Tech regulations ‘on ice’. https://wrd.cm/4hymHqL
The CFPB Work Freeze Is Putting Big Tech Regulations ‘On Ice’
The cease-work order at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau won’t just affect lawsuits and enforcement actions. It will stall regulation that could govern tech companies like Apple and Google.
