> On TC you are either opting-in or forbidden to access.

And it remains to be seen whether that is legal.

I don't think there is any "remains to be seen" about it. It's illegal.

Tweakers.net had their lawyer take a look at it, and they claim it is legal. I'd love to see it on trial.

My take on it is it is BS and a cost/benefit analysis.

According to the GDPR, it is not legal. What remains to be seen is whether the EU will enforce or not.
