So it's not negative that right after we stopped doing it with videos, we are doing it with everything? I'm European. I just want to use the Internet, all of it; please, EU, leave me alone, I can handle my data by myself more than well enough.
- sgift 8y agoThen go ahead and allow the companies to use your data. No one stops you. And leave the rest of us alone.
- Karunamon 8y agoAFAIK, the GDPR explicitly makes it illegal for a company to operate on a “pay with your data” basis. So no, they can’t.
- etatoby 8y agoSo are we going to lose access to Google and most other services? Because they are effectively "pay with your data"
- mrep 8y agoIf gdpr had its way, then yes, you would probably lose access to google and pretty much the rest of the web. Right now, most companies are skirting around the law though so we will have to wait and see the real effects once the lawsuits start settling.
- endless1234 8y agoHow so? The users just have to give their consent for it.
- Karunamon 8y agoBecause you can't have access to the service conditional on the consent.
- TomMarius 8y agoI'm unable to access this website. I can't let them use my data, GDPR is stopping me because compliance is apparently too expensive for this site. I don't have any option to click on a "I don't want any GDPR-provided 'rights'" button or e.g. sending such header with my requests.
