💳✨ New Episode Drop: Pay to Play ✨🍸

Once upon a timeline, the internet looked free—like a never-ending sample sale where every scroll felt like a steal. But now? Every cookie banner feels like a velvet rope. Consent or Pay. Pay or Okay. Your money or your data. And just like that… privacy became the hottest accessory with a price tag. In this week’s episode of Data & The City, we unpack the drama in three fashionable chapters:

👠 Pay to Play: a deepdive into how we got to consent or pay
☕ Coffee & Consent: an interview with Lucas Noronha
💼 Greed is Good: The current state of Consent or Pay

So grab your oat milk latte, your sharpest cookie-banner-clicking finger 🍪, and tune in—because when it comes to your privacy, darling, the choices aren’t just personal… they’re political, profitable, and oh-so-provocative.

🧩 And if you can’t get enough? Check out our brand-new activity book Puzzling Privacy—where crossword clues meet cookie banners and sudoku collides with Schrems. Who says data protection can’t be fun and fabulous?
