2020: Dutch ATC legally threatens public media after EHAM runway blunder revealed.

The issue is a bit too complex to fully describe in a "forum subject header"

Dutch ATC / Luchtverkeersleiding Nederland now wants the audio at
off the internet,
threatening legal action against public media in The Netherlands.
That amounts to censorship.

Making the runway available

The procedure for starting to use a runway is that LVNL notifies the airport from the air traffic control tower
about the exact time at which they want to start using a runway.
After that, the airport performs an inspection of the runway.
After the inspection of the runway has taken place,
LVNL submits a formal request to the airport to start using the runway.
LVNL will now take legal action against the news organization
as the video clip was not removed before last night 23:59 (UTC +1),
LVNL states that incidents between air traffic control and an aircraft
may not be retransmitted and this according to a European Regulation.
