The Dutch national weather forecasting service ([[wikipedia:Royal_Netherlands_Meteorological_Institute|KNMI]]) faced a lawsuit over their weather app that was revised. The plaintiffs were the major commercial weather app providers in the Netherlands (NVWB). They lost the summary proceedings, and their claims were dismissed by the judge. The revised KNMI app was relatively unknown in the Netherlands up to the court case, and the app [[wikipedia:Streisand_effect|saw a major increase]] in downloads after the ruling. It even became the number one weather app in the Netherlands on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.<ref>{{Cite web |title=KNMI Weer |url=https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/knmi-weer/id1225568094 |access-date=27 Feb 2025 |website=Apple App Store}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=KNMI |url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.knmi.weer&hl=nl |access-date=27 Feb 2025 |website=Google Play Store}}</ref> | The Dutch national weather forecasting service ([[wikipedia:Royal_Netherlands_Meteorological_Institute|KNMI]]) faced a lawsuit over their weather app that was revised.
