They also paywall some ad-blockers.

I use Block This! on my Android device, which essentially a pseudo-VPN that blackholes ad requests (as well as some trackers and miscellany). Wired bounces me immediately if I have it enabled.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" has been my model 😉 And Wired aside, it does work phenomenally well. But I will take a look at your suggestion.

Anyone have a non-paywall link?

My understanding is that if you run a rogue discoverable DHCP server in a local network with a particular set of options set and hyper-specific routing rules, you can clobber the routing rules set by the VPN software on any non-Android device, and route all traffic from those devices through arbitrary midpoints that you control.

But IANANE (I am not a network engineer) so please correct my misinterpretations.

Interesting article. I think the money quotes that shifted my POV a little were these:

It has become a leading source of information in this country. About one-third of Americans under 30 regularly get their news from it.

and

American law has long restricted foreign ownership of television or radio stations, even by companies based in friendly countries. “Limits on foreign ownership have been a part of federal communications policy for more than a century,”

It does place the ban in some more relevant historical context.
