It is not necessary to consent to data collection for a person to read Slate's article, therefore walling their article behind a consent button means the consent is not freely given.
In other words - you can't lock a site behind a consent button. Either you provide the site regardless of data collection consent, or you don't provide it at all - period.

I don't see how any of this can apply to Slate, unless the EU wants to start reciprocally start enforcing, say, Saudi law on European websites.
