Norsk Tipping has recently gotten fines (46MNok and 36MNok) from the gaming authorities for other issues:

I'm solving a very related problem with https://cited.news/

It's a news aggregator based on Wikipedia references.

I've created a news aggregator based on Wikipedia references. While this might be comparing apples to oranges, here's the list of the most cited websites by Wikipedia: https://cited.news/domains

It's still a bit buggy, so the "blank" domain is ranked #1, followed by NY Times, BBC and The Guardian.

Fox News is ranked at #93 at that list: https://cited.news/domains/show/www.foxnews.com/citations

Know where to find that list? I googled around and couldn't get it.

No sources are actually blanket "banned". Some exceptionally bad ones like the Daily Mail are "deprecated", but that does not mean it can't be used anywhere ever. For your edification: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per... (there's a legend at the bottom)

They are banned. Search your list for "blacklist". Note that the blacklisted sources are only on one side of the political spectrum -- not one thing on the other side got blacklisted.

Oh, you meant Breitbart and Infowars? Those can still be used, but require whitelisting; so still not a ban. You can read the linked discussions for more information. Not gonna rehash and spell it all out for you here. I wouldn't say two instances are a pattern of anything, but going by your logic, guess that side of the spectrum just has more history of spam and persistent abuse on the English Wikipedia.

My project, the news aggregater Cited News (https://cited.news/), uses Wikipedia references as source for news.

Cool project, but I don't see the link with the article apart from being related to Wikipedia. It might be better off as a Show HN.

There is a very similar case going on in Norway, where Håkon Wium Lie (creator of CSS) is being sued: https://www.wiumlie.no/2018/rettspraksis/06-11-blog.html

With update: https://www.wiumlie.no/2018/rettspraksis/10-22-returns It recaps most of what is in the first link while talking about how they both lost and won the court case

"The Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula (BBP formula) is a spigot algorithm for computing the nth binary digit of the mathematical constant π using base-16 representation. The formula can directly calculate the value of any given digit of π without calculating the preceding digits. (...) Though the BBP formula can directly calculate the value of any given digit of π with less computational effort than formulas that must calculate all intervening digits, BBP remains linearithmic (O(n log n)), whereby successively larger values of n require increasingly more time to calculate; that is, the "further out" a digit is, the longer it takes BBP to calculate it, just like the standard π-computing algorithms."

The Norwegian equivalent of this project, got sued for copyright infringement of supreme court verdicts: http://www.wiumlie.no/2018/rettspraksis/10-22-returns

JRuby (Ruby on JVM) and Warbler[0] solves this problem quite nicely, even though you end up with JARs instead of true binaries. (There are tools for packaging JARs as binaries, if you really want that.)
