   In case you missed it: The EU data protection board (EDPB), the umbrella org for the EU national data protection authorities, will soon publish its opinion on "pay or okay" (the force-people-into-consent-scheme of most tracking-financed digital services).

   The privacy bubble is split on what to make of it. Most, including the EU court of justice, argue that consent remains valid as long as the subscription fee isn't too high. Others (me among them) warn that this would make privacy a luxury.
