@falcennial and that's why NOONE should ever do this!

- I'd rather leave than accept #PayOrOkay and other scummy shite.

Seriously, for #PayOrOkay being banned I've seen a shitload of sites still doing that.

• Who can I report offending sites to?

@noybeu @Bundesverband

@dmarti As long as #PayOrOkay is legal I'm shure it won't matter.

After all, #US corporations rather coose to #Geoblock than comply with #GDPR…

@LunaDragofelis @Jes I still think #PayOrOkay needs to be outlawed (and I hope @noybeu successfully sues for that!) and all data collection, storage and transfer needs to be explicit opt-in with the least possible exceptions (i.e. you don't want others to be able to apply for identity documents in your name or do business deals on your behalf without your explicit permission and consent)…

Also #GDPR is already a compromise: #BDSG is way stricter in it's original form!

@fabio @davidculley sadly, #PayOrOkay is a thing and @noybeu has yet to be successful banning that shit de-jure…

was für eine Ironie, das ausgerechnet #ctuplink das Thema #enshittification behandelt, obwohl jede #heise Quelle im Internet mit deren rechtswidrigen #payorokay Banner ein Paradebeispiel dafür ist. Wie wäre es erstmal vor der eigenen Haustür zu kehren? just saying...

I thought 'consent or pay' was effectively unlawful in the EU? I keep seeing it cropping up on websites.

@stiefel_fan @ulrichkelber der ganze #PayOrOkay - Bullshit ist ja auch illegal und '#AllesAblehnen" - Buttons auch vorgeschrieben!

@CppGuy #PayOrOkay is #illegal as per @EUCommission and I hope for @noybeu to issue costly cease and decist letters soon...

@siobhan @jschauma +9001%

I do charge €333% of Germany's Minimum Wage + tax per hour for having #ads displayed to me (minimum commitment per site is 40hrs/week - payment in advance; 3 months notice for cancellation)...

• #EveryoneHasTheirPrice, it's just that mine is at market rate.

Also #PayOrOkay needs to be banned!

📢 Disappointing news: our #PayOrOkay complaint against t-online.de to the DPA of NRW 🇩🇪 from 2021 remains undecided. When we asked for access to the file, we ended up with 161 partially redacted pages that don‘t mention our case at all.

Ey, @tazgetroete !

Ich hoffe, der Cookie-Banner mit den 617 (!) Partnern und #Darkpattern ist nur ein schlechter Joke! Wenn der bleibt, ist mein #tazzahlich-Beitrag (und ich) wieder weg!

#Datenschutz #unplugtrump #cookies #payorokay

Ahja, aktuell schaltet #telegram in D. vermehrt Werbung in Kanälen. Bizarr und gleichzeitig bezeichnend, dass ausgerechnet die #pravda darüber berichtet. #PayOrOkay ist jetzt angesagt. Oder einfach mal telegram den Rücken kehren. https://deutsch.news-pravda.com/eu/2025/02/15/305727.html Der Zuschnitt der Werbung basiert *angeblich* nur auf den Kanalinhalten. Persönl. Daten seien geschützt. Aber das behauptet telegram ja schon immer. Ohne EzuE-#encryption, aber mit nem Milliardär im Hintergrund sehr glaubwürdig... #paweldurow

@echedellelr @LilahTovMoon sadly #PayOrOkay is not illegal in the #EU!

@cadey yes, for no good reason!

Cuz #PayOrOkay is still legal in the #EU!

@Gords @nixCraft personally I think #PayOrOkay and other #DarkPattern bs should be outlawed and only explicit #OptIn without #paywalling allowed!

I attended the EDPB event on #PayorOkay models and left deeply concerned. The discussion lacked acknowledgment of data protection as a fundamental right and ignored clear GDPR principles making the model unlawful. Instead, it conflated ads with core services, sidelining fairness and rights. Surveillance ads harm individuals and society, yet their ‘value’ is overstated. We must reclaim the debate: data protection is key to human dignity and a rights-respecting digital future.

Round of applause for 'progress' (no): #Meta, offers the EU a discount on #PayOrOkay and a 'less personalised' ad option—while still processing personal data without consent. Some institutions may cheer this as a win for data protection and competition, but it feels more like a cleverly priced workaround. When will regulators and legislators see through these superficial fixes and demand real compliance and digital rights protections? https://about.fb.com/news/2024/11/facebook-and-instagram-to-offer-subscription-for-no-ads-in-europe/

#FNF24 is getting closer and we are excited! The program is finalized by participants during plenaries, but some of you already indicated what sessions you plan to convene:
we got #AIAct implementation, #ChatControl, #Tracking, #PayOrOkay, #GDPR, #EmergencyAid and using #FOSS for organising #Solidarity action, #FinancialPrivacy, #AgeVerification, #GlobalSouth perspectives and more!

You can still give us a heads-up about your session topic and tech-needs:
