NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The coverage broadly agrees that retailers are selling e-scooters despite a road ban. However, the framing and emphasis differ slightly, with some outlets focusing on the retailers and others on the ban itself. The tone is largely critical across the centre-leaning outlets, with no notable divergence in tone from left or right-leaning outlets, as only centre and one left outlet are represented.
