And the OP article is plagiarized from Reuters.

https://www.reuters.com/legal/theranos-founder-elizabeth-hol...

-- "A federal judge has denied a request to release Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes from prison while she appeals her fraud conviction" <=> "A U.S. judge on Monday denied Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes' request to remain free on bail while she appeals her conviction on charges of defrauding..."

-- "Holmes was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison in November for defrauding investors..." <=> "U.S. District Judge Edward Davila sentenced Holmes to 11 years and three months in prison in November"

-- "He noted that even if Holmes won her appeal challenging the admission of evidence about Theranos’ inaccurate blood tests, it would not result in a reversal of the other convictions against her" <=> "Davila concluded that even if Holmes won her appeal to challenge the Theranos technology evidence, it wouldn't result in a reversal or a new trial of all the counts she was found guilty of"

Etc. (this is just 3 of the first 4 sentences!) The little anti-string-matching substitutions, like "to challenge" -> "challenging", show clear intent to obfuscate.

To be frank, it appears that every news website is resorting to plagiarism if they are covering the same story. I suspect this is been flagged because our website is relatively new and may not yet be perceived as having significant value.

For example, the news on, "Dalai Lama apologises for asking boy to suck his tongue," has been widely been written with same words by major news outlets such as Reuters, CNN, and Al Jazeera, indicating a potential case of plagiarism. However, it's also possible that they have the right to use the same phrasing but we don't. Right?

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/10/india/dalai-lama-apology-kiss...

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/10/dalai-lama-apologis...

I believe it is plagiarism too or they have the right to do it.

Just a few weeks ago, we began this blog with a specific focus on business trends and their impact on the future of work and the economy. It's unrealistic to expect an overnight influx of thousands of followers on our social media platforms given that we currently only have a handful of staff.

Our Twitter with other social platforms was created just last month.

Regarding our front page design, we opted for a barebones layout to ensure that it's easy to read and use.

I believe there is no way, a small media website can make it overnight. Or is there?

Try not plagiarizing articles.

Reuters et al have a standing relationship and will cite the original article, or straight up say 'originally published by X'.

You are trying to ride the chatgpt hype train and have been called out.

Also 'our'? How many people can it take to put up a garbage site with broken links, and throw a prompt at gpt to obfuscate the original article.

Your website is spam.

Submitter is (probably) the site owner and definitely a chronic HN spammer. No idea why the submitter and site aren't banned yet
