Noyb has a very good tracking of succeeding with their efforts, as they take pragmatic down-to-the-letter-of-law approach. They are not activists (there's other orgs for that, like Irish Council for Civil Liberties, which takes much more aggressive approach to privacy rights. Them undertaking these efforts means that it's very likely they'll succeed. GDPR legal text quite clearly establishes that consent must be freely given. Ultimatums (pay or else) aren't freely given. Also, Meta used their primary color (blue) in the UI modal for "consent" or pay to highlight the "consent". They just can't but not build the case against themselves -- using manipulative UI patterns (priming) to get the choice they want.
