🎥 Have you ever wondered why more and more websites implement 'Pay or Okay' systems?

You thought paying for your seat was annoying? If Meta's "Pay or Okay" approach is legitimised by the EDPB, paying an extra fee for your privacy will become a standard for other services as well.

Meta's "Pay or Okay" model forces users to accept tracking or pay for their own data. If other companies follow this approach, privacy will soon be a luxury.
