“[J]ust look at the response from Springer Nature to Plan S, saying that some elements of it are “unacceptable”! What utterly bizarre power dynamics are at play here. This is not lobbying; it is a private company attempting to directly exercise control over public policy. Imagine McDonald’s telling policymakers that eating fruits and vegetables are unacceptable, and that we all have to eat their burgers or the industry will suffer; or Shell saying that combating climate change is not possible because it harms their profit margins. Their statement is what is unacceptable and unethical.”
