Salon is trying to sweet-talk visitors into letting them mine Monero in the browser while you visit their website.

Look at them squirming around for paragraphs without saying what they're actually doing, and when they finally admit it, they try to pretend like you'd be participating in some important technological research.

This is illegal according to FCC guidelines preventing malicious ad practices on digital venues. It used to be a big deal to put worms in banner ads and pretend you didn't know otherwise.

Oh by the way you can easily stop this and ALL paywalls by using Brave.

On Brave you simply flip the "block scripts" switch and it will block everything, along with trackers, ads, malicious adware, etc. etc.

Brave/BAT is the future. Built-in adblock browser with an optional decentralized user-advertiser-publisher advertising model. Literally solves all of these issues.
