They are.

Which is why this is merely a political stunt in order to save the revenues of failing Australian conservative press organisations (News Corp, etc.)

Stop using it.

On mobile, for example, some news sites are hosted via Google's AMP service. I think that's at least one of the avenues for this supposed 'misuse'.

Destroying thousands of years worth of culture is not fair game, no matter who does it and no matter the legal authority. Don't fall for it, lest you become a traitor.

This has almost nothing to do with the post.

Yes, and I don't see how they're linking the lab to GoF. The GoF component of the research has been cancelled, and I would presume (due to its association with Peter Daszak) that it was cancelled due to lack of funding from American budget cuts or from safety concerns about the virus. I could be wrong on the reasons for cancellation, though.

They cite one man, Ebright, as opposing GoF. 'Scientists' plural seems a tad exaggerated.

"(At this point most scientists say it's possible—but not likely—that the pandemic virus was engineered or manipulated.)"

It seems as if they're confusing the 'possibility' of the manipulation theory with the 'possibility' of the lab escape theory (which is technically possible, but very, very unlikely).

It is. You can view their research papers and their data online. They sequenced SARS-CoV-2 even, I believe.
