And I couldn't read the article without logging in to my Facebook account.

Facebook seems to put different restrictions depending on where you live. I'm based in Western Europe and never been able to read anything from Facebook without logging in. Same for Instagram.

It won't let me read the article until I log in with Facebook.

I didn't need to log in to read the article at the original URL, though I had to close a cookie-wall and another modal prompting me to enjoy Facebook better by signing in.

Edit: in Ireland, on Firefox desktop

Can't read this article without an account/login.

Why must I log in to FB to read this?

It's impossible to read the article without logging in lol

Login not required, I have FB login and widgets disabled and I can read it fine. Some of the commenters point out a good question here: why has Facebook not joined in with the blackout in some form? Or is it just US only, like Craigslist.

Interesting article title, sad I can't read it. It requires a log in.

i cannot read it. apparently you need a facebook account to see it.

znpy | karma 10741 | avg karma 2.31 · | 2018-05-25 03:20:58+00:00

The content is behind a login-wall: can't read the article if you're not logged in.

What's with the login wall to read the article? Does every random site need my personal information now?

michaelpinto | karma 2782 | avg karma 2.32 · | 2015-04-27 17:36:50+00:00

you can't view the article without being logged in

rambojazz | karma 805 | avg karma 1.23 · | 2019-12-15 00:32:17

I would have gladly read the article if it hadn't asked me to sign in with facebook or google. Sadly, I'll pass.

Ah, so disappointing that I need a Facebook account to read this. The joy of missing out.

SteveWatson | karma 10 | avg karma 0.12 · | 2016-12-27 17:34:54+00:00

Why do I need to log in to read the article?

razormouse | karma 3 | avg karma 0.6 · | 2019-08-15 15:48:12+00:00

Very ironic article on a site that requires you to log in via social media just so you can read it.

greenyoda | karma 16146 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2017-05-17 02:10:39+00:00

Confirmed. I was able to read it OK, with no Facebook account.

bithavoc | karma 3346 | avg karma 15.35 · | 2019-12-08 06:04:28+00:00

Unable to read article, it requires an account.
