On 5 May 2008, "Zeit Online" started a project in cooperation with partners such as the German Football Association, the German Fire Department Association, the VZ-networks, the ZDF and the German Olympic Sports Confederation to start the online platform "Netz gegen Nazis" ("English: web against Nazis"). The web portal was subject to criticism from the journalists. This was based on the platform not providing new information and only arguing superficially. On 1 January 2009, "Die Zeit" withdrew their contribution to the project and handed over administration to the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. The project has since been renamed to "Belltower.News".
