  “We know from all research that even a fee of just 1.99 euros or less leads to a shift in consent from 3–10 percent that genuinely want advertisement to 99.9 percent that still click yes,” Schrems said.

  Stating the obvious… But glad there’s evidence.

  Idk how the fuck Meta actually argues that 9.99 constitutes freely given consent. People clearly don’t even want to pay 1.99.

  IMO this is essentially extortion. And it’s clearly not in the spirit of the law.
