På siden til Bergens Tidende er endring av abonnementsvilkår fremdeles et ikke tema.

Her viser det seg hvor viktig statlige uavhengige medier er. Alternativet er USA, der nesten alle store medier nå er eid av oligarker.

Eg har i mange år abonnert på blant anna Bergens Tidende (#BT), og har vore godt fornøgd med det. Men i går sende dei meg e-post om at dei no tvingar oss abonnentar over på ei «betal eller bli spora»-ordning («Schibsted annonsevalg»). Dette er ei type ordning som #Forbrukarrådet skildrar som «veldig skadelig og ulovlig»: https://www.abcnyheter.no/nyheter/schibsted-skal-ta-betalt-for-a-ikke-hente-inn-personopplysninger-skadelig-og-ulovlig/1509422

Min «måte å tilpassa meg dette landskapet på, på ein transparent og ansvarleg måte» (for å bruka deira eigen ordlyd i grunngjevinga for innføringa av ordninga), er derfor å seia opp abonnementet!

Oppfordrar alle andre abonnentar til å gjera det same! (Same ordning vert innført for #Aftenposten, Stavanger Aftenblad, #VG, #E24 og Dine Penger og podkast­appen #Podme.)

Så i staden for at eg må betala nærare 500 kroner i året for å ikkje dela personopplysningar, sparar eg nærare 5 000 kroner i abonnements­utgifter (hadde «Full tilgang»-abonnement). Forslag til kva eg eg skal bruka dei sparte pengane på?

Neitakk. Uaktuelt å fortsette faktisk.

Crazy idea: building a service that lets people sell their data for profit.

Link your e-mail or social media account, fill in an account number for payout and hit the button. The service will automatically extract history and personal info from the services, and sell it to advertisers and data brokers. The service retains 10-20% and pays the rest out to the user.

The EU ruled that #payOrOkay is legal, so this is too, right?

"Pay or Okay user study. The law requires that users have a “genuine or free choice”. To find out if this right is respected, noyb has commissioned an academic study about user choices. Even though participants did not need to make any real payments during the study, the results are still clear:

- When asked openly, only about 2 out 10 people agree with companies collecting and analysing their data.
- However, when they face “pay” and a “consent” option, about 9 out of 10 people chose “consent”. The high consent rate seems to be caused by the lack of a reasonable alternative.
- Finally, when there’s a “pay”, a “consent” and a “advertising, but no tracking” option, most users switch to the latter. 7 out of 10 people then choose the “advertising, but no tracking” option.

This shows that the “third option” (as suggested by the EDPB) is supported by objective evidence: Users accept funding of websites via advertising – but not online tracking.

No difference between different sites. The study also shows that users do not behave differently depending on whether they are on large social networks, journalistic pages or other websites. Therefore, there is no factual basis to treat these websites differently and, e.g., create different Pay or Okay guidelines for media websites than for social media.

“Privacy fee” vs “paying for a service”. With Pay or Okay, users are required to pay a privacy fee if they want to retain their right to online privacy. While website providers can, of course, ask for payment in exchange for access to content or a service they provide (like Netflix for TV shows or Spotify for music), Pay or Okay systems try to charge users for their data protection rights without compensation. Unfortunately, even the French Data Protection Authority confuses this, referencing a survey in a bid to support Pay or Okay."

@falcennial and that's why NOONE should ever do this!

- I'd rather leave than accept #PayOrOkay and other scummy shite.

I thought 'consent or pay' was effectively unlawful in the EU? I keep seeing it cropping up on websites.

📢 Disappointing news: our #PayOrOkay complaint against t-online.de 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.
