Apolut (until 2021 KenFM) is a German-language independent media outlet.
Censorship
At the end of August 2022, Apolut was ordered to censored by the state media authority (German: Landesmedienanstalt, MABB) in Berlin. After a legal hearing, the ruling came in the middle of 2023, where a total of five articles had to be changed or deleted and a processing fee of 800 euros had to be paid per article. Three of the articles was about Covid and two times about the Ukraine.[1]
In one case, Volker Bräutigam and Friedhelm Klinkhammer had claimed in an article about the Ukrainian president Zelensky that his popularity had fallen sharply from the beginning of 2021 - where 2020 would have been the correct year. The MABB referred to the duty of care and the special importance of surveys, but ignored the fact that in many other places on the Internet the fact continues to be written with exactly the same wording that was banned for Apolut.[2] In the second Ukraine article, the author claimed that Zelensky banned all opposition. The MABB found several sources to the contrary for this - including Wikipedia.[3] However, Apolut author is not alone in his statement.[4] The corporate media outlet Stern reporter wrote three months earlier: "The Ukrainian president has banned all opposition parties and merged all TV channels",[5] which at the time of the ruling still stood at its website.
The author of two other requested texts, the biologist Markus Fiedler, has dealt in detail with the procedure of the MABB. Fiedler accuses its director Eva Flecken of being clueless on factual issues, for example, when she points out to him that the mRNA vaccinations are not gene therapy. "I don't have to research first what genetic manipulations are, as required by the MABB, I learned that decades ago during my biology studies. And the fact that I express myself explicitly as a biologist is also mentioned accordingly in the articles," writes Fiedler. The media authority wanted to "prescribe to him and his colleagues the way of finding the truth and the content of articles". Fiedler writes that the MABB suppresses freedom of expression. "The allegedly "independent" MABB, which is acting like an Orwellian Ministry of Truth here, is clearly acting unconstitutionally. The aim of this action is the censorship of publications critical of the government."[6]
