- TeMPOraL 8y agoTrading nonessential data sharing for ability to use a service is forbidden under GDPR. I'd be fine with them geoblocking me, but the way it is now, this popup sounds not compliant, and also manipulative.

Yes, in the sense that you can argue that. No, in the sense that the GDPR just says "no, you cannot ask people to pay with personal information". So either they must show me the article even if I opt-out of giving my information. Or they must make reading their article conditional upon something else (say, paying them). They CANNOT make it conditional upon my consent to use my personal data, because that's just coercing me into clicking "yes", which is exactly what GDPR is supposed to curb.
