Why is it written that it's independent?

>> Psych Central is an independent mental health information and news website.

How can it be independent if it was acquired by a corporation specializing in such content? Gamma1138 (talk) 07:53, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was independent when the word "independent" was placed there and no one removed it after the acquisition. I just did. Thanks for pointing it out. Largoplazo (talk) 10:27, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
