    The reason is because your country doesn’t have a GDPR

      The main reason is because the vast majority of people do not care or lack foresight of where that trend has been taking us for over 17 years. Surely you have friends or family who do not care. I do.

      GDPR is EU legislation, noyb is an EU organisation. What are you talking about?

        I’m talking about passing data privacy laws that make the concepot of the OP illegal, like GDPR.

          Pay or okay is happening in the EU right now as well. At least in Germany…

            Sure, they’ll get fined a few hundred million Euros for it, though

              That’s…what the article is about. The pay or consent trend is starting in Europe because of EU laws that forced companies to give people an option to opt out of tracking. Now the EU is looking at another way to force tech companies to offer a realistic option for avoiding tracking.

              It kinda seems like you didn’t read the article at all.

                It says the EU is deciding how much to fine these companies.
