Newspapers once were on paper; today they are online. Their  con-
tent  has mainly stayed the same: written text and static images.
This is content for which HTML one was designed. Today,  however,
we've  arrived  in  a world where the anti-features rule: You are
withheld from static content if  your  browser  does  no  dynamic
Javascript. How ridiculous!

Newspaper 1:

     Warum sehe ich SZ.de nicht?

     Sie  haben  JavaScript  in  Ihren  Browsereinstellungen
     deaktiviert.   Aktivieren  Sie JavaScript jetzt, um un-
     sere Artikel wieder lesen zu können.

Newspaper 2:

     Warum sehe ich FAZ.NET nicht?

     Sie haben Javascript  für  Ihren  Browser  deaktiviert.
     Aktivieren  Sie  Javascript  jetzt,  um  unsere Artikel
     wieder lesen zu können.

Translated roughly: ``Why am I not seeing this page? Because  you
have  Javascript  deactivated. Activate it to be able to read our
articles again.''

(This information is even presented as an image!)


Whereas at the same time, these websites are accessible with w3m,
which  proves the blocking to be an anti-feature, that intends to
force users to run their (thus likely malicious) Javascript.
