     @openrightsgroup And apparently they're not the only ones at it. Accept cookies or cough up the money? This can't be right.

     @SNerd @openrightsgroup Me? Done and done - since I never visited that site in the first place, nor would, usually. This screenshot was sent to me.

     @MediaActivist @openrightsgroup This “pay or consent” model was adopted by Meta and others when it was held that they could not rely on contractual terms for their tracking cookies. All regulators in the EU are pushing against it but IIRC there’s yet to be a definitive court ruling on it. The UK is separate but you would expect the Information Commissioner to have the same attitude, as the law is identical. It’s not compatible with GDPR-based consent.
