If this price is not issued by the state, then I don’t see a “problem in democracy”. Infantinos peace price was also ridiculous, but should we put him in jail for it?¹ The same accounts for Axel Springer - believe me, I hate them with every cell in my body, but I can’t prevent them from issuing fantasy prices and giving them out to the people they want. And I don’t want to live in a society where this is possible. This is the downside of a democracy, things you need to bear and live with. Which does not mean we do not need take Axel Springer to the courts for all the other evil things they did which were against the law.
¹of course we need to put him in jail, but not for the peace price
