Description

To read an online article without a subscription, a pop-up requires you to submit an email address. But the user is also signing up for spam from National Geographic AND its parent, Disney, as well as agreeing to the terms of service and privacy policy. There is no separate mechanism for just reading the article or agreeing to those terms.
