What happened
Another publication reprinted an article about franchises in full with no reference to the source and ignored the citation volume guidelines.
What was done
The editor-in-chief of DeloBank sent a letter to the media itself. It was ignored. Then he made an angry post on his Facebook page, tagging the offender. Also ignored.
Aggravating circumstance
Ignoring legal compliance requests.
Our actions
We followed the 2nd step of our dispute resolution process — a complaint to the website provider. So, the article was deleted by the host the following day. Now it redirects to a 404-page.
