This article is just a lie and also seems deeply confused. First it talks about the (false) claim that you can no longer count a yearly contract as such, then it switches to "involuntary churn" without at any point explaining why those concepts are related in any way.
The regulation[1] explicitly says:
> Nothing in this Regulation prevents a customer from compensating third-party entities for support in the migration process or parties from agreeing on contracts for data processing services of a fixed duration, including proportionate early termination penalties to cover the early termination of such contracts, in accordance with Union or national law.
