In interviews with Vanity Fair, Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, said President Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality,” called JD Vance a “conspiracy theorist” and concluded that Pam Bondi “completely whiffed” the early handling of the Epstein files.

What I find so weird about these modern times on the web is that I cannot read NYT over a VPN even on a gift link. Same goes for trying to browse archive.is. For some reason, it seems very difficult to read information without having to give up at least your IP to someone’s server, and I don’t really understand if there are any (valid) reasons for that.
I’m reading the linked article now using a VPN, and Archive links always work with a VPN as well. Seems like you might have something misconfigured, or your VPN provider does.

I believe that; the unfortunate side-effect (if it even IS only just a side-effect) is that it becomes even easier for your ISP and/or the various web sites (and tracking companies, etc) to build a dossier of exactly who is reading what.
Under a regime like this one, that could spell some real trouble.
The ISP will get which news outlets you read, but not which articles. Not ideal, but perhaps not as bad as you fear
