Personally, I think not having analytics is great.

As others have said, how this will impact your business will strongly depend on what customers you work with and how you acquire them.

If you heavily depend on customers finding you through that website in the first place, a human/authentic/privacy-respecting site will strongly speak to a minority of potential customers, but might be a competitive disadvantage. All the better when you have a market niche where you could afford this.

Louis has a ranty vlog on this topic (more centered on SEO and content, but I believe similar ideas apply): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II2QF9JwtLc

I believe that should not be a valid defense, ever.

If you're not OK with what you're ordered to do, you should not do it (and we should have a system of justice and social support which honors that).

If you actually do something you're responsible for that deed, ie possibly culpable.

If you're being pressured/manipulated/... the person doing so is responsible for that, so culpable as well - but not in place - if applicable.

German law actually contains an apologetic first step in this direction, called 'Remonstration'. I think we can all guess how it wound up in that particular legal system.

Besides being able to point at the article and say "see, we fixed it", I'm not aware of a single (let alone significant) case where it was actually/successfully used.

In somewhat interesting contrast, German law does not codify protection of whistle blowers, for example.

Can't help but notice a lack of the 'smash successfully' (or equivalently, 'fail at contraception') dimension.

It stays smaller then, but is still there. However, I've found (out) that reader mode works quite OK on that site.

Is there a way to get rid of the huge distracting "Swipe for next article" overlay on the-independent.com?

How is it an "undisclosed [amount of] damages" - aren't court rulings supposed to be public [records]?

I know stuff like the rulings of me going to court with the driver and insurance companies involved in a car accident certainly was public (in Germany).

Anyone in the know please ELI5 and/or point me at the relevant laws, how/what/in which cases (parts of) rulings can be "undisclosed".
