The tool, which allows users to avoid paying subscriptions, was developed to protest the way websites are designed to suit Google Search by exploiting that design itself. Technology reporter AlexMartin. A website designed to help internet users get around paywalls has begun asking those users to subscribe to cover its costs. The tool, 12ft, allows people to avoid paying subscriptions to access news and academic journals that restrict who can read them. Paywalls are a popular method of ensuring subscriptions within the news industry, partly due to the industry losing an growing share of the advertising market to the "de-facto duopoly" of Google and Facebook. The tool's creator, Thomas Millar, claims to have created it at the beginning of the COVID pandemic when he was doing research and found that eight of the top 10 links on Google were paywalled. His tool works by effectively reconfiguring the user's web browser so it appears to be a Google crawler. Sites will often share their full text with Google to achieve a higher ranking in Google Search. Because his tool doesn't actually modify the paywalled website, just the visitor's browser, it would not be considered an offence under the Computer Misuse Act. What is the tool for? Mr Millar does not say he wants to prevent news organisations from generating subscription revenues, though this is the ultimate effect of his tool.

Remember the goal is getting money to pay the journalists and other expenses. I'm not going to defend Google at all. A lot of "news" is begging for a race to the bottom-- I can get the latest Covid numbers, sportsball score, or the fact a water main burst on 12th street from 5 local TV channels or two or three newspaper-format sites. I still don't understand why it was forked, and what makes it the "clean" version. No gratuitous Javascript needed. But yes, they do index content that's available to the public but requires a subscription. Also it works to just pay for journalism; I pay for several of the main news sources because I use them so often. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
