  • In August 2021, noyb had filed several complaints against news sites using unlawful ‘Pay or OK’ systems with German data protection authorities (DPAs). Despite the fact that only about 3 to 10% of people want tracking for personalised advertising, these systems lead to consent rates of more than 99%. Almost four years after the filing of the complaints, the DPAs of North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse still haven’t managed to issue a decision on the merits. Quite the opposite: In order to avoid finally deciding the case, the DPA of North-Rhine Westphalia has even issued a 12-page decision that it cannot decide yet. Today, noyb took both authorities to court for their year-long inactivity.









  • The headline makes it sound like this is a problem in all of Europe, while the article itself is writes about how Italian journalists are likely being targeted by the Italian government. Georgia Meloni often gets a pass because she works together with other European leaders, but she is (almost) as fascist as Orbán and Vučić. Le Pen, PiS, AfD the list of like-minded politicians is long and we cannot and should not allow them to target independent journalists or abuse publicly funded media to further their anti-democratic agenda.
