PS. the “in association with Currys/PC World” notice isn’t even present when you check the @guardiantech article on mobile.
Trust lost.
@mattpointblank @seb_ly The very fact that it’s an article giving advice to students biased by commercial interests of Currys/PC World sucks

@mattpointblank@seb_ly Not an add, it says ‘in association with Currys/PC World’. Is that an ad? Or does it mean they had input. -
@aral@mattpointblank that’s the critical question we need to have answered. -

@mattpointblank@seb_ly Don’t get me wrong, wouldn’t care if it was any other publisher, I expect the worst from them. But not The Guardian. -
@aral@mattpointblank@seb_ly (aside from paying for the content to get produced in the first place) -
@bobbiejohnson@mattpointblank@seb_ly Read@lessig on institutional corruption. Of course money creates vested interests & affects content. -
@aral@bobbiejohnson (i.e. in this case the advice doesn't point towards DRplc, but perhaps in part _consequently_ it is not hugely useful)
