What is the legal basis for banning distribution through the internet?

[zweifuss → the-dude]

RT dosen't have a valid permit. They should have asked for one in Germany: https://apnews.com/article/business-europe-russia-media-germ...

That is just a bureacratic self referencing argument isn't it?

Why would one need a permit to broadcast on the internet? Does Rogan need a permit in Germany too?

It depends. Governments have a lot of laws at their disposal: from hate speech laws to antisemitism. It has worked so wonderfuly in the past, why shouldn't work now ?
