| Meta Data | The representatives of Simpals SRL have provided detailed and point-by-point responses to all the questions asked by MOM in the request for information. Aceștia ne-au comunicat însă că nu ne pot oferi informații despre veniturile și profitul înregistrat de cele două site-uri de știri gestionate de Simpals SRL. „Având în vedere că stiri.md și point.md fac parte dintr-un ecosistem digital integrat, veniturile și costurile acestor proiecte sunt strâns legate și interdependente. Din acest motiv, nu este posibil să prezentăm o statistică separată pentru fiecare dintre ele în ceea ce privește veniturile din publicitate și profit per proiect”, se spune în răspunsul companiei. | |
