Willingly is the snag, right? GDPR doesn’t prevent people from trading data for services, it just makes it so that companies are not allowed to assume everyone

Willingly is the snag, right?
GDPR doesn’t prevent people from trading data for services, it just makes it so that companies are not allowed to assume everyone is willing to without asking.
The article seems a bit breathless to me, but I didn’t catch it saying anything about not being able to use your data. Did I miss something? it’s just pointing out that we haven’t yet made it illegal in the US for companies to use your data even when you are unwilling.
