We’ve started asking folks to post archive links if they want to help folks get around a paywall, as there’s some question about Beehaw’s legal liability if we’re posting the full article on the site.
Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles… The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.
It’s common courtesy to post the plain text of a paywalled article.
We’ve started asking users not to do this. No issues with posting an archive link, though.
Copy pasting entire articles is discouraged. It is preferable to share a link to an archive website such as this: https://archive.is/5UPAI

Wired doesn’t show a paywall for me for some reason, but in any case the the original source is Ars Technica which I don’t think shows a paywall to anyone: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/02/air-canada-must-honor-refund-policy-invented-by-airlines-chatbot/

That’s a lot more effort than I’m willing to go to.
Yeah I’ve never seen that, usually just an archive link

Not paywalled for me perhaps it wasn’t for OP.
