See title. Axel Springer bought Politico, and it has ties to the CIA, having received $7 million from them, as well tries to force Politico employees into supporting the genocidal apartheid state (Israel).
They also lack journalistic integrity in that they doxed freedom activists, such as those from Palestina.
There’s more in here.

Get a DNS blocklist for all Axel Springer related media, so you don’t need to bother.
I wouldn’t ban them on some 1960s shady dealings. Axel Springer has enough recent dirt to warrant a ban.
Indeed. Axel Springer deserved a ban back in the 1960s, but they are even more deserving today. Beides having gotten money from the CIA ages ago is hardly one of their worst deeds, even back then. They are a far-right propaganda mill that didn’t shy away from incitement to murder. Fuck them.
My exact thought, we shouldn’t base a ban based on an article from 2003 about cia money from before the 1970s. But aside from that, I am all for banning Axel Springer
