Ilya ZverevRecently I've been seeing a lot of european (mainly german) media sites that require buying a subscribtion to opt-out from tracking.
Is that even legal?
reletPretty much. The claim is that they offer their paid magazine in an ad-based version - which is hard to argue with, even if not doing that would nuke their sales.
Most infamously Facebook did the same thing when the EU required them to get consent from their users. Pay for a monthly subscription, or consent to tracking.
joël@relet @zverik well at least @noybeu thinks that's not legal: https://noyb.eu/en/ads-meta-wants-be-less-illegal-much-more-annoying
