I think you misunderstand what 12ft.io’s business model is – they didn’t bend over for the NYT, the NYT bent over for 12ft.io by paying them to exclude them from the service. Literally the whole point is to extort money from publications to get on the whitelist.

Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?
