BEUC members file complaints over Meta's 'pay or OK' model

Eight members of the European Consumer Organisation filed complaints with their national data protection authorities objecting to Meta's so called "pay or OK" model, Euractiv reports. The complaints will be consolidated by each data protection authority and referred to Ireland's Data Protection Commission. The complaints generally argue the "pay or OK" model does not adhere to the EU General Data Protection Regulation's principles on fair processing, data minimization and purpose limitation. Editor's note: The IAPP's Lexie White covered a LinkedIn Live on Meta's "pay or OK" model.
