As the person paying for a Netflix account used by my household, I don’t really care from a monetary standpoint.
However I don’t like technical barriers Netflix is erecting. Tracking IPs, Device-IDs and linking them to location info. I pay for the service and I’m not okay with these extensive measures.
I don't think Stripe holding money is the problem here. The problem to me seems that there is no support to be reached at Stripe to dispute their decision or get a human to answer. I agree that OP's business doesn't seem that healthy if $3000 are such a big problem, however that doesn't make Stripe's non-existing support any better.
I agree that is clearly for non-developers that are in the Adobe ecosystem, however to me it's still unclear why they decided on this system. I thought about simple landing pages as well, but they state this in the faqs:
"You can use Helix for small sites because it is very easy to get started, but it works best for large sites with many authors, frequent updates, and lots of traffic."
Which confuses me a bit about which kind of pages they intended to be created in Helix. They also talk about Stripe integration for e-commerce shops.
So I spent a while on their page, https://www.hlx.live/business/project-plan seems to have the best explanation how Adobe thinks you should use their product. However I still don't really see the use case:
> Helix dynamically renders HTML via Markdown that is generated from the content source documents. Markdown provides an abstraction as well as filter for content created in the various different data sources and strips all the formatting that cannot easily be projected into HTML semantics. This means you don’t have to worry about authors picking the wrong font, size, or color, Helix will take care that your final site looks as the design specs say.
So it's just generating a markdown document from my Word document and dynamically renders that to HTML. It seems like a weird SSG that isn't static, relies on proprietary files stored in either Google Drive or SharePoint, and seems to be aimed at Content Creators that are not tech savy at all (why else would you prefer Word over md files?).
However all that is still very confusing and it looks a bit like the project changed direction during development (e.g. there's still mention of GitHub as file storage which has been discontinued in the faqs etc.) I still don't see who would use this for their site.
I have looked at the NetzDG reporting on YouTube and Twitter and while both of them require you to cite a specific law the content is in violation of, they both do not require any report to authorities. The NetzDG doesn't require involvement of authorities, it was especially designed with the goal of moving the work from the state to private companies.
The colouring in the „World Press Freedom Index“ graphics doesn‘t seem to make any sense. Countries with very different placements on the index have a similar shade of red and the only greenish looking country is Vietnam, placed 175/180.
Have you read the article? This is not about people not willing to get vaccinated but about pharmaceutical companies wanting legal protection by a government authority. Also this seems to affect mostly displaced people in poorer countries (e.g. Afghan refugees in Iran), which is not comparable to asylum seekers in your (I suppose rather wealthy) home country.
