    That has to be a GDPR violation, right?

      No, the EU does not force entities to provide Internet services for free.

      You have the choice. Pay with your data or your money. I hate it too but what can you do?

        Why are you getting downvoted? You are right.

    Whatever you do, don’t post a link to that article to Archive.ph!

    Seriously, it harms rich people by not letting them sell your data.

    A normal amount of adverts I think are fair though. Asking to get the content, not paying anything for it, and refusing to watch adverts is just a bit too cheeky, in my opinion.

      They only need to serve ads related to the conent. Because that is most likely something im interested in as I’m visiting the page for that. They don’t need any permissions/cookies for that.
