WallHop launches as replacement for paywall-bypass tool 12ft.io
Original: Show HN: WallHop – 12ft.io is gone, so I built a replacement
A developer has launched WallHop, a new tool intended to fill the gap left by 12ft.io, a site that helped readers get past news paywalls before it shut down. The project is drawing attention on Hacker News, where commenters are debating both the usefulness of the tool and the ethics and legality of bypassing publishers' paywalls.
Why now: 12ft.io's shutdown left readers looking for an alternative, and the launch of a replacement sparks debate over paywalls and access to news
