I have seen worse. Der Speigel has "Accept" and redirection to sign up page for a paid subscription. I wan under the impression that forcing people to agree to tracking by withholding services until they do is not allowed under GDPR. Well, apparently it is.

- ratww 6y ago> I wan under the impression that forcing people to agree to tracking by withholding services until they do is not allowed under GDPR. You're 100% correct in your assumption. Der Spiegel is treading on thin ice here, or at least I hope they are. Here's the relevant GDPR text: Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment [1] [1] https://gdpr.eu/gdpr-consent-requirements/ https://gdpr.eu/gdpr-consent-requirements/
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoThe Washington Post have the same thing. To view articles for free, they require you to sign away your GDPR rights, and they attempt to charge you 2x the money for a subscription without tracking. Sucks to be them I guess, as I pay for news (and run Ublock) but won't reward this mendacious behaviour.
