Coercion against VilaWeb that threatens society as a whole

In the AEPD's assault on La Directa and VilaWeb, what is worrying is the order to take down the content and the precedent it sets. If this goes through, then tomorrow any civil servant, any police officer, any public official named in a piece of investigative journalism will be able to ask the agency to make their name vanish from a truthful, verified and relevant news story — without any need for a trial. And with that, the newspaper archive will stop being an archive and become a list of what those in power are willing to tolerate being published. The death of journalism.
