The cookie pop-up for this site gives you 2 options: ‘Accept and continue’ or ‘Decline and subscribe’ which I’ve never seen before and enters a new level of cookie choice abuse. (Accept is for 823 partners, btw)
The GDPR basically says that you can either paywall it or not, but you can’t provide your content for free only if you accept tracking. Facebook is in hot water right now for this exact thing.
Hmm. Just re-checked. Still says the same thing for me. Maybe it’s country-specific (I’m in the UK), or browser-specific (I’m using Chrome on Android), or being A/B tested (although the comment about all French newspapers doing this suggests otherwise).

This is GDPR-compliant. They don’t have to provide the content for free.

So no, it is not GDPR compliant.
It is, at least CNIL (French privacy authority) ruled as such. Pretty much all French newspaper websites operate like this.
Yeah, my bad, it’s not breaking GDPR, it’s breaking the much newer DMA, according to a current EU inquiry.
Mine does not say that? It says “Disagree and close”
