What’s defaultism here?
Comment on BBC is Getting a Paywall.

The original title just said it was adding a paywall making it sound like it applied to more than 1 of the 195 (worldometers.info recognised) countries in the world.
I’m not British but it’d be pretty alarming to hear that the BBC was adding a paywall that applied to the British if I was British

Honestly this sucks balls for the US. One more credible news source made inaccessible.

It does actually seem like it’s only the US for now
Unless I’ve misunderstood your comment

I asked OP to update the title in another comment which they did (and appreciate) but it made this comment of mine confusing 😅. The original title didn’t have any mention of which country. It just said they were adding a paywall
