But the good part is you can just decline to consent. Because under GDPR if they need consent at all (that is they really don't need the data), then you can decline.
- slig 5y agoCan the site deny your access then?
- saithir 5y agoMuch like the few US-based news sites that already decided to just not bother and show me the "you're coming from the EU and we can't be bothered to not collect your data" blank page instead. At which point I'm free to decide I wasn't interested in their content anyway.

- YtvwlD 5y agoafaik no, but you might lose some features
- nybble41 5y agoNo. They consider that "coercion". So there really is no point in even asking, as the only correct answer is to decline. Anyone who accepts can be presumed to have been tricked into falsely thinking they would get something in exchange for granting permission.

- foxfluff 5y agoIf legal offering for a market with half a billion people is not worth it for them, then by all means they can and probably should pull their criminal enterprise out of Europe. That just creates an opportunity for Europeans to say good riddance and perhaps start something new and worthwhile that isn't funded by exploitation.
- denton-scratch 5y ago> then you can decline. Not if the consent form looks like this: [Register] [Accept]
- ATsch 5y agoFor it to be informed consent declining must, by law, be as easy as accepting. Yes, this is being widely violated, but that's just a problem of enforcement.
