📢 Disappointing news: our #PayOrOkay complaint against https://t.co/G9VU4NPmJj 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.

If @iconews is clear all UK @meta users have an absolute right to object to direct marketing, then why has it failed to use its enforcement powers over years to rectify this serious violation? Will it stay passive when flawed #payorokay is rolled out too? https://t.co/fa04kkN2dB

On #dataprotectionday let's commit to taking action💪against data #rights being a privilege of the wealthy 💰Absent a stronger stand against #payorokay business models, both as regards #consent 🤝& #dataprotection principles, that is sadly where we seem headed at least in UK 1/4

#OnlineAds 🇪🇺 Is the EU Pushing #Internet Users Towards a #Subscription-Only Future?
"Recent #GDPR guidance from the #EDPB suggests a troubling shift that could drastically alter the free-access models of the internet."

#EDPB's guidance on #ConsentOrPay: "The General Data Protection Regulation (#GDPR) was never designed to dictate #business models, but to ensure fair #data handling across all online services."

🔐 "Is the EU going to push everyone towards a #subscription-only model for the #internet in the future?" asks @CCIAeurope's Daniel Friedlaender in @TspBackgroundDi 👇

Leitlinien des EU-#Datenschutzausschuss könnten #Werbemodelle grundlegend verändern, sagt Daniel Friedlaender von @CCIAeurope. Das könnte kostenlos nutzbare Online-#Plattformen ihre #Werbeeinkünfte kosten, wodurch weniger Menschen Zugriff auf sie haben 👉 https://t.co/zqAfe2fvmw

@iconews sounds strong but sits alongside its lack of action against
#payorokay to target and profile & statement that such a business model (which has no free override) is not against UK #GDPR. How is an individual mean to trust #DataProtection here? https://t.co/IXhpkwygBn
Can I object to direct marketing?
Yes. In fact, the right to object to direct marketing is stronger than any objections you can make about other uses of your data.
They cannot refuse and must stop using your data for direct marketing purposes: https://t.co/9YcOD8BVr7

📝 In case you missed it: The Hamburg DPA has actively asked media companies to implement #PayOrOkay, then failed to factually investigate our #GDPR complaint (but had numerous meetings with the controller) and rejected it.
👉 We now sue the Hamburg DPA.

🇬🇧After complaints by NOYB, an open letter by 39 MEPs, an EDPB opinion and lots of activism, the Commission now relies on the #DMA to (preliminarily) conclude that Meta's #PayOrOkay data holdup is illegal: an option without tracking is needed, & the consent is not valid!
🇩🇪Nach Beschwerden von NOYB, einem offenen Brief von 39 MdEPs, einer EDPB-Stellungnahme und viel Aktivismus stützt sich die Kommission nun auf den #DMA, um Metas #PayOrOkay-Datenraub vorläufig für illegal zu erklären: eine Nutzung ohne Tracking oder Abo muss möglich sein!
1/3 🎉@EU_Commission finds #Meta's #PayOrOkay approach of pushing users into consent violates the #DMA.
This (preliminary) decision is a great win & confirms what we've been saying all along: your right to #privacy is not for sale.

De Europese Commissie vermoedt dat Meta's #PayOrOkay model in strijd is met de onlangs ingetreden #DigitalMarketsAct. Ze gaan het verder onderzoeken, maar dreigen al met een boete van 10-20% van de wereldwijde omzet van Meta.

Our (really interesting) panel on #PayOrOkay with many voices (including @tobiasjudin, @DIEZEIT @HoganLovells, a researcher on choices and us) and moderated by @BrusselsGeek is up after Lunch at the #Orangerie! Join us! 😊

So, as I understand from today's @PrivacyPros's LinkedIn live, where the @EU_EDPB's representative spoke about recent opinion on #PayorOkay, @EU_EDPB will draft guidelines on #PayorOkay, which will dive deeper into the issue. I hope these guidelines will come rather soon.
Ya avisamos que diga lo que diga la AEPD, lo de #PayOrOkay o sea pagar o aceptar cookies no podía durar.
Hoy Protección de Datos UE lo confirma

Legal analysis or just wishes? The term "should" is used 149x in the document. In the section on "Freely given consent" alone, 53x. In contrast, "must", "shall", "have to" and "has to" altogether occur less than 25x in the same section.
#payorokay #dataprotection
The EDPB has adopted an Art. 64(2) opinion on consent or pay models. The EDPB considers that, in most cases, it will not be possible for large online platforms to comply with the requirements for valid consent, when offering only a binary choice
