why is this a blog spam article badly copied from the original source at https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/china-dev-fined-salary-vpn-10m-ecny-airdrop-asia-express/ ?
That's hardly the original source. The second paragraph of that article links to another source again.
indeed, original source is the wrong term, but at least it's an english derivation of it, which was only copied by the link in this post
There's a coin telegraph logo on the top of the website so I guess is some licensed syndicated content
it is indeed somewhat attributed, but it still very much looks like scraped content.
a very strong indicator is the inclusion of
at the end, which on cointelegraph's page is separate from the content and provides a sign-up form.
