The complaint is one of four complaints on "forced consent" (see C001 to C004) which were filed on Max 25th, 2018. The issue is that the user is forced to consent to the processing of their personal data to use the service. Therefore, such consent cannot be considered as free which is a condition under the GDPR. Facebook demanded users to agree to a new set of privacy policy and terms on 25.5.2018, when the GDPR kicked in.
Facebook in return argued, that all this processing is to be seen as based on a "contract" under Article 6(1)(b) as they describe the processing in an additional introduction that was added to the terms.
