I have been a follower of John Dvorak's articles on PC Magazine for a long time. His column comes out like clockwork, but his Opinions page was not updated for weeks. A little searching found an article on Medium from John himself. He says that he was released for his article that was critical of the forthcoming 5G system, and the magazine went so far as to replace his article with a pro-industry article. You can read John's story here.

A sad sign of the times where advertising rules everything.

    PC Mag has John's article here [pcmag.com]. Note that that's not an archive of PC Mag India, that's PC Mag USA, live right now.

    Looks more like a linking error than anything malicious.

    Note the weird "duplicated" URL you posted and compare with https://www.pcmag.com/article/345387/what-is-5g [pcmag.com]

    There certainly is something fishy going on here.
