Ongelmaksi muodostuu suostumuksen tarkkuus ja käyttötarkoituksen niputus. Kuinka moneen eri kösittelytoimeen ja eri henkilötietojen käsittelyyn voi suostua yhdellä klillauksella?

I thought 'consent or pay' was effectively unlawful in the EU?

I keep seeing it cropping up on websites. Meta is certainly at it (again).

Consent or pay

#ConsentOrPay : il y a qqs jours l'ICO ("CNIL UK") a publié ses guidelines. Les éditeurs en sont plutôt contents car elles peuvent préfigurer celles d'EDPB, sans préjuger de ce qu'il émettra par ailleurs. Certains devraient pourtant s'inquiéter. Explications.

Fake ad showing plane ticket price from Berlin to Paris. One can read : Title : "You thought paying for your seat was annoying ?" "Ticket + data sharing : 199,99 € Ticket + Privacy : 224,50 €"

My horrible and pessimistic prediction regarding #ConsentOrPay

2025 : CoP is approved 🫤
2027 : campains like screen below are launched (copyright @noyb.eu ) 😨
2029 : Sharing non necessary data will be compulsory to buy any product or service online 😱

Maybe I'm wrong in the years...

[EN] #cheatsheet Here’s a summary of the parallel timelines of #Meta and online #publishers in their quest for a valid legal basis that can support #DigitalAdvertising as a business model in the #EU. #ePrivacy #GDPR #ConsentorPay #adtech #media #advertising

An image of a notice Meta is presenting to users, giving them a choice of paying with money to use their Facebook or Instagram accounts or to 'use free of charge with ads'. Use free of charge with ads does not mean it is free of tracking and an erosion of privacy

Just a reminder as the European Data Protection Board appears to buckle on the issue of #PayorConsent #ConsentOrPay that in July 24 the @ec.europa.eu sent preliminary findings to Meta over its “Pay or Consent” model for breach of the Digital Markets Act ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Alors oui : le #ConsentOrPay, c'est une horreur doublée d'un mensonge. En payant, vous fournissez ou fournirez argent ET données personnelles. Et ce n'est pas une régulation, aussi solide soit-elle, qui y changera quoi que ce soit : la CNIL
n'y fera rien, on en prend le pari.

"So as users become more conscious of what cookies are, what tracking is, they don’t like it, they're told they shouldn’t like it, reject all becomes a much more obvious choice for them to make, especially when nothing bad happens if they press reject all."
