I am not fully sure about this, but it might be against the GDPR? From what I understand you aren't allowed to block someone if they opt out of non-essential stuff. However the GDPR hasn't been tried on anything like this yet, so it'll be interesting to watch in the future, but I am not expecting anything soon.

CBS All Access is US-only AFAIK, so I don't think GDPR is a problem for them

Ah, then in that case, it's not against the GDPR, but if it was accessible from the EU, then it would be. In a way, this is the sort of thing the GDPR is designed to prevent.
