"pay or okay" has been ruled illegal _on that specific site_ by the German Data Protection Agency: https://noyb.eu/en/pay-or-okay-tech-news-site-heisede-illega...



So why aren't they complying?


As mentioned in the article the site maliciously complied by (barely) changing the behaviour, which meant that the complaint has been renewed:

> Felix Mikolasch, Data Protection Lawyer at noyb: β€œIt seems that the LfD's decision has already been overtaken by the latest version of the "Pay or Okay" banner. We will of course go back to the LfD and continue to fight this practice.”
