I wonder why disinformation and misinformation is such a problem nowadays… Maybe the access to scientific papers should be opened and democratized so everyone, regardless of social and economic classes, could read and lookup reliable knowledge? Nah, just paywall 'em all and blame those silly conspiracy theorists for online misinformation, it’ll certainly work. /s

Seriously though, Biden did sign an executive order that prohibits government funded research from going behind a pay wall.

It’s feature not a bug. They find it much harder to scam an educated population out of their money.
