I noticed that NYT allows Google to crawl their new articles without login but if I access their news directly, it is asking for login.

On this result page, the first result is https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/06/opinion/lea-michele-funny-girl-second-chances.html which I can see all the content if I click it from the result page. But if I access it directly from my browser, I can't.

I am wondering if this behavior is considered as cloaking? Please enlighten me if anyone knows why it isn't.
