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.
It was filed in Belgium and forwarded to the Irish DPA (Irish DPA) as the lead supervisory authority.
