It's the other way around. The EU is blacklisting data collection bandits; their "revenue models" are unacceptable and therefore forbidden by law.

Bandits implies stealing which is disingenuous as you have the option to not accept their terms of using the website.
I'm curious, how do you propose to fund the web? Should every site now have paywalls?
Didn't know what that was until you said it and still not sure how it applies.

I think you are misunderstanding me. I love everything about GDPR except 1 thing and that thing is not allowing companies to tie providing their service in exchange for data so that they can make money because it denies people the CHOICE (key word here) of using said option.
I proposed an option (just pay for the lost revenue the company no longer makes) so that everyone still gets the option to use current revenue models, pro privacy people can pay their fare share for the service, and companies don't blacklist all of the EU for what a portion of the people want. What does not sound fair about that?
