Slides highlighting a. com access screen circulated Monday at 11: 00 a. m. ET, showing a robot-check page that prevents readers from viewing a markets article and instead prompts them to verify they are “not a robot. ” The interruption matters for users trying to follow fast-moving coverage referenced in multiple headlines about oil prices and Asian stocks.
