New Noyb lawsuit says Hamburg data watchdog acted as lawyer for German newspaper
Briefly

Noyb challenges Hamburg DPA's decision on the legality of Der Spiegel's 'pay or OK' model, accusing the authority of providing legal advice and not being impartial.
Der Spiegel's model requires payment or agreement to data processing; Hamburg DPA had close contact with the newspaper. Noyb is now suing to overturn the decision.
Hamburg DPA charged Der Spiegel €6,140 in administrative costs, while Noyb claims they were not given a fair chance to present their side.
According to Noyb, under GDPR, authorities should sensitize companies, not provide specific advice. The lawsuit questions the fairness of the decision-making process by the Hamburg authority.
