Summary Information Access & Digital Equity Undermines
The URL is inaccessible due to paywall enforcement and returns HTTP 401 Unauthorized. Observable structural signals reveal barriers to information access through subscription requirements, JavaScript enforcement, and tracking infrastructure. While the WSJ maintains editorial standards supporting free expression, the platform's business model systematically restricts access to published content to paying subscribers, undermining UDHR provisions on information access (Article 19), non-discrimination (Article 2), and adequate standards of living (Article 25).
