I guess there's different degrees of intention. This might be like someone driving to a party and, while still sober, deciding to binge drink and drive back home afterwards. After also deciding that fixing the lights can wait.
Yeah, the stated purpose to "pay news organizations" wasn't the actual result and news organizations were banned instead. It could be intentional, just not stated in that way.
