AFAIK, 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.
