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.

- sametmax 8y agoYes, 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.
