Neutrality in journalism was an artifact of the business model when consumers had far fewer choices of newspaper/channel (ie only < 5 local papers, 3 network channels), using neutrality as a strategy to avoid turning off potential consumers. The point of journalism is not neutrality; it's the communication of facts relevant to the audience.

This article communicated multiple facts/relevant quotes to me that I was not aware of before (eg iOS14 changing a default setting to improve user privacy, and the extremely revealing quotes from the FB Audience Network bloc [0]) and put them in a context relevant to the audience that values privacy. I don't see how this is an example of bad journalism.
