Illegal where? What law does it break?

In EU with their GDPR/cookie laws. I’m pretty sure hiding the declining of tracking or cookies behind a paywall is not supported under those laws.

It is very legal and common in France too. You’re free to decline as long as you’re a customer. You’re free to accept or not see the web site.

We need search engines that hide those from results by default. Basically “walled garden-blocking”.

They want to keep the door shut until you surrender your data? Fine. They don’t get to pollute your web if you refuse then.

I wish. In the end it all depend on how individual countries interpret the EU law. In France it was decided that “either let us shit all over your privacy or pay a subscription” was okay and in the spirit of the law.

It’s bullshit IMO, but lots of sites ran with it. So those I refuse to interact with now.

This is very common in the EU. The majority of news sites do it. I believe it’s technically legal because they aren’t under obligation to provide a free access at all

It’s not but I guess they know that nothing really happens to them doing this.
