The gdpr doesn't prevent such thing. It just requires consent, care and empowerment.

  The GDPR does not allow you to block people who do not consent. Well, it's never gone to court yet, so I guess you can't say for sure. But that's how it's widely interpreted.

    Yes, you need consent. That's the point. That's good for us, the users. Services can still do all what they did before, but we need to agree.

    Consent is meaningless if it is forced. Also, if the law allowed that, you would simply get a large banner saying "To access this website you agree to all our privacy invasion and to sell us your soul. We are not asking you, just informing you."

      Except you do have the choice not to view the site. If hackernews said give consent or leave, you could just close the tab.
