You can pay with your data if you consent to it. It's your data, your choice. But if you don't consent then prepare your credit card for payment.

Most people then will choose the free version.

As y0ghur7_xxx is saying, you cannot pay with your data, just as you cannot take a loan with an interest rate of 1000%, since that would be usury. Even if you signed a contract agreeing to such terms, they don't count as they are not legal.

Contracts don't make laws. Laws make laws. You cannot pay with your data.

> You can pay with your data if you consent to it.

No I can not. I can pay with money. User data is not money.

You are wrong. The entire point of the law is to stop this being an option.
