The linked site in the toot almost certainly violates the GDPR since it requires either payment or tracking consent to access. Requiring payment is fine, but forced consent is not.

And there is absolutely a great number of major European news and media companies willingly ignoring the GDPR. Most people even remotely interested know this.
