This makes it all the more interesting whether the “submit or pay” model of GDPR compliance (already used by Le Monde, etc.) is accepted as “freely given consent” by the courts—there’s been some hubbub about that IIRC, but no definitive opinions. It doesn’t seem to have been the intent of the text as I read it, but we’ll see how it plays out. (E.g. a theorerical “submit or €1K” model probably shouldn’t pass on proportionality grounds, but then €10/mo is, I expect, already orders of magnitude more than Le Monde or even Facebook is getting from ads per visitor, so one could argue it’s also disproportionate.)
