I suspect the EU will at some point, they have haven't already, make terms that must be accepted to continue void.




EU already forbids consumer contracts from e.g. having the business force a change of terms (though ending the contract on disagreement might count as good enough behavior).

I suspect if the EU courts consider denying access to a website if they refuse GDPR permissions illegal they'll probably consider ending a contract based on not accepting new terms as forced.
