@jdembowski, thank you for your detailed answer! This is very instructive.
I agree that the term „Fake News“ is also used by people who spread Fake News (e. g. Trmup). Thank you for pointing that out! Therefore I will use the term with more care (or replace it by „disinformation“). I guess, in Germany the term „Fake News“ is not seen as much hijacked as in USA (see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_News).
It’s true, there are many stronger insults than „Pfui!“. I cite the Duden dictionary (a standard German dictionary): „pfui <Interj.> [mhd. pfui, phiu, wohl nach dem Geräusch beim Ausspucken]: Ausruf des Missfallens, Ekels, der moralischen Entrüstung: p., schäm dich!; einige im Publikum haben Pfui/pfui gerufen; p. Teufel!“ That means: pfui [phiu, probably after the sound of spitting out]: cry of displeasure, disgust, moral indignation: pfui, shame on you; some in the audience shouted pfui/pfui; pfui devil! Note the examples where pfui is used. For me (and I guess many other Germans) „Pfui“ is not a nice word in many contexts.
According to the licence and restrictions:
I don’t see the plugin is violating https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/ or https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/. GPLv2 says „Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted …“ This means GPLv2 takes no control over program execution. See https://www.ifross.org/en/what-are-obligations-involved-internal-use-software-licensed-under-gplv2 for more details. Therefore, I do not see that we are not allowed to restrict the execution of our plugin (more precisely, we do not restrict the execution, we restrict some functions/features). We do not restrict the right of „copying, distribution and modification“ allowed by GPLv2. Can you clarify please? If I’m wrong, can you please tell me why? Thank you!
As noted before, the headline „Zensur per Plugin“ („Censorship per plugin“) by webmasterlein says that we are censoring. But what are we censoring? The page qpress.de? Please correct me, but the website qpress.de is not offline, is it? No content is modified by our plugin (see source code). Therefore, the headline itself is a kind of disinformation by webmasterlein, right?
A personal note: We stand for freedom of press, equality, democracy, the truth (and so on). But, we don’t want to support people (like qpress.de) who fight these values with the support of our free of charge plugin – especially in the context of German history (as said the plugin is useful for German blogs only).
Best regards! And thanks for the help!
