    Meta unlawfully ignores the users right to easily withdraw consent

    [09:22] schestowitz

    Since the beginning of November, Instagram and Facebook users who dont want to be tracked have to pay a privacy fee of up to 251.88 per year. While one (free) click is enough to consent to being tracked, users can only withdraw their consent by going through the complicated process of switching to a paid subscription. This is illegal, as the GDPR clearly states that withdrawing you [09:22] schestowitz r consent must be as easy as giving it. In addition to a previous noyb complaint relating to the consent phase of the pay or okay system, noyb has filed an additional complaint with the Austrian data protection authority today to take into account the withdrawal situation.
