- ajmurmann 2y agoWell, if they made the bizarrely uneven application of law explicit, it's all cool...
- gpderetta 2y agoSorry, I don't see in that thread where the exception is coming from. Can you be more explicit?
- fransje26 2y agoNo. It is just as illegal for newspapers. https://noyb.eu/en/pay-or-okay-tech-news-site-heisede-illegal-decides-german-dpa https://noyb.eu/en/pay-or-okay-tech-news-site-heisede-illega...
- em-bee 2y agothis article is a year old, but heise hasn't changed their model. so what is it going to take for that to change? i have been arguing against this for some time and i am glad to finally see some support, but more work is needed.

Unfortunately, with so many misbehaving players, that seems to take some time.. But from the fines I read about, once it falls, it falls painfully. Their choice.
