For those interested:
Lucht Verkeers Leiding Nederland, the Dutch counterpart of BelgoControl/Skeyes,
wants the Youtube-clip above to be removed before Monday morning 17feb2020.

Talk about a "Streisand Effect".

Not the first time LVNL/Dutch ATC tries to censor Dutch media, whether left -or right-orientated-politically...

Intussen is de brief van LVNL binnen:
voor 23.59 uur vanavond moet het audiofragment van onze site en ons YouTube-kanaal zijn verwijderd,
daarna moeten we rekening houden met juridische stappen.
LVNL weet zich overigens geen raad met de site die al hun ATC openbaar archiveert.

...and now also in English:

LVNL is now demanding that NH Nieuws remove a published fragment in which air traffic controllers can be heard instructing planes to land on a closed runway,
and is threatening to take the broadcaster to court if it doesn't, NH Nieuws wrote.

According to the broadcaster, LVNL is relying on a European regulation,
which states that recordings of air traffic control may be listened to, but not published again.

NH Nieuws said that the social and journalistic importance of this fragment is of such concern that it will not be deleted.
The safety situation at Schiphol is an important and relevant topic, the broadcaster said.

NH Nieuws also said that air traffic control makes selective use of this European regulation.

The broadcaster referred to a recording of King Willem-Alexander communicating with air traffic control as a pilot that was published on social media.
A communications adviser for LVNL called this a "nice fragment".

Last month, LVNL also allowed a vlogger into the control tower, and sound clips were published on their video blog, NH Nieuws said.

The Netherlands association for journalism NVJ is impressed with NH Nieuws for standing its ground, general secretary Thomas Bruning said on Twitter.

Indeed, it is not only about safety anymore,
it is about censorship.

...it is not just about safety any more, it is about censorship.

Or more precisely, arbitrarily randomly enforcing rules on others
while breaking these themselves on occasion.

Klopt. En LVNL cherrypickt in die wet.
Verbieden wat ze niet uitkomt,
toejuichen dat wat ze in het zonnetje zet.
