And there it is - Europeans now have to choose between paying Facebook in data or money
"You need to make a choice to continue using Facebook," says Meta when people in Europe try to use Facebook.

Crux is, they are going to point to the user having clicked the button and call "CONSENT!"

Except it isn't under GDPR, because it isn't freely given.

You can't even get in to delete your account without giving that "consent", or paying.

That's pretty blatantly forced consent, not freely given consent, so I'm *quite* sure it's invalid under the #GDPR. Certainly GDPR Article 4 Section 11 requires "consent" to be "freely given" by the Data Subject. An expert would know better.

Gives me "You must log in to continue." Thus proving my point? 😛 Of course you can delete your account *after* logging in (and "giving consent"), though I wouldn't trust them to delete your data if you do...
@mkj With this link, you won't get this "consent" popup after login, just this:
