On the Telecommunications Law in Germany 

Petycja skierowana do: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petition aims to force service providers offering a service via the internet which is wholly or partly financed by advertising to offer the service in return for payment, with no advertisements and no trackers storing details of the user’s behaviour. Services provided via the internet, but also by other media, are increasingly being financed by the provision of personal data. Financing in this way is unethical and dehumanising. The General Data Protection Regulation does not prevent companies from pursuing their questionable practices. A sensible alternative would be to ensure that these services had to be offered in return for payment.
