Consent or Pay: How can the single market and fundamental rights work together?
‘Consent or Pay’ has dominated headlines in the past few months as the world has eagerly anticipated the EDPB’s opinion on ‘Consent or Pay’ models implemented by Large Online Platforms. It was often said that, should the model have been accepted, the internet as we know it would have changed. Civil societies have highlighted that if ‘Consent or Pay’ would be permitted, it would not be limited to news pages or social networks but would be employed by any industry sector with an ability to monetise personal data via consent. Through this event, participants will quickly be able to understand how data protection is relevant to their everyday interactions with technology.
