The EU does not allow you to trade away your privacy rights in exchange for free goods or services.


It 100% does allow exactly that

https://www.spiegel.de/


Plus Der Spiegel ironically has a pop up offering “consent to tracking” or “pay to be ad-free”


If it's newspapers, the EU apparently has a carve out because newspapers feel good sand legislators read them when they were young


Meta had $135 billion in revenue last year vs Der Spiegel's $0.3 billion.

Obviously, the largest offenders are going to be the top priority for limited enforcement resources.


Yea that user is just wrong, is though this opinion from the privacy board (who knows if it matters at all) is that pay or consent should be illegal.


It is not. It is limited to the context of Large Online Platforms, as defined (iirc) in the DSA.

I believe the edpb will later publish guidelines on consent or pay for other companies, which will impact many news agencies.


We did quite a bit of research into this.

If you need mostly B2C features I would have a look at Clerk [0] and Supertokens [1]

If you are more interested in B2B features we found Ory [2], FusionAuth [3], and good old Keycloak [4].

None of them are fully comparable yet however, which might be the reason why they might get away with their current behaviour.

Thanks for the mention (I work for FusionAuth).

I'm curious what solution you ended up determining best fit your needs?


that landing page should point to docs instead of commands for me to run on my machine.

I'm someone looking for auth/security products. you won't reel me in like that.


Thanks for your feedback! Here are the docs: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/

FusionAuth has a dual deployment model. You can either run it locally (or host it yourself) for free, or you can pay us to run it for you. Most devs want to kick tires and run it locally, which is why the downloads page has those commands.

There are features that do require a license, but we have plenty of people running with plenty of MAU on the free version (we call it the 'community' edition).

Sorry if it wasn't clear.


Can confirm, also very dissapointed with Auth0. We have been happily using Auth0 for years within their self-service license tier. Unfortunately we are now in the process of migrating away from Auth0 on short notice.

We never hit 10k MAU, but according to their sales people you can't have multiple tenants without an enterprise license, even though that is not mentioned anywhere in the docs. We have been using them in good faith, however they will not shy away from aggressive sales tactics and threatening to 'de-provision' you if you do not commit to a very expensive license.


I can also confirm that their sales org is very disappointing. The technical side is excellent.

Could you give a bit more background to this? E.g. moved from where, what is your experience level, salary range maybe?

The general advice seems to be that a university degree is almost always required. Having another data point would be helpful!


You can "replace" the degree with sufficient professional experience, at least for Germany. Ideally you've got several years.
