yes, the ft does that. i guess it’s against their t&c to just copy their articles and they want to make that clear. they do have share button that allows a number of clicks without needing a subscription.

Yeah, it always does this if you are an FT subscriber when copying/pasting their articles.

This can be extremely annoying as a screenreader user. While FT is an extremely accessible newspaper, it can sometimes be more convenient to just copy/paste the article into a screenreader software.
