Thanks for sharing. An explicit revenue minimum... incredible how blatant this legislation is. Not about supporting journalism at all.
Wow, that's vile. So clearly about incumbent media power rather than promoting diversity.
I wonder if eg wordpress, or ghost, would be able to create a situation for their hosted blogs in which authors were paid for their content by virtue of the organisation itself having the minimum level of revenue.

That would open up a whole other can of worms in terms of liability.

A common solution for such situations is to have some kind of association of or platform for independents which can hold the relevant registration.
