I am a pilot. I don't mind a single bit that my ATC communication might be recorded and re-transmitted. You are talking on non-encrypted hardware, face reality. I also don't mind people like NH News here kind of accidentally uncovering a mistake by ATC. Mistakes happen. Own up to them.
This could have been so easily dealt with by LVNL/Dutch ATC by simply issuing a statement themselves. Be transparent. Be ahead of the story. If it was purely a formality, no harm issuing a press release disclosing the facts, actions taken, done. Instead of this surfacing in the news through an innocent video weeks later and now running around trying to do damage control by means of hypocritical law suits.
