Discrimination and slavery are othogonal. You can have a rule that says if you want to sell flour in a store, you have to apply the same standards to all comers. You can't be mysteriously out of flour just for the black family, or it costs 100x more just for the gay couple, etc. This does not make you a flour-selling slave because you don't have to be in the flour-selling buisiness at all.
Trying to make that somehow related merely exposes something unflattering about anyone who tries it.
I don't know how that could be applied to publishing/broadcasting platforms, but it doesn't matter because the point was only to say that there is no such rule, which means a wallet does not solve the paywall problem, and being free to read something and reading something for free are in fact not entirely unrelated, depending on the particulars of why you can't read something for free.
If there was say, some kind of unmoderated publicly run service where everyone had to pay a certain fee to access it, maybe even in the form of taxes, and everyone had access to it by law, that would be free to read and not read for free, but we don't have that. All we have are things where someone gets to decide what you are free to read.
