My "feels like its not that big of a deal" is based on my own companies approach, legal advice I've seen, and internal training.

I realise that Pinterest is large and I'm sure they have sought legal advice, but that doesn't stop this coming across as an overreaction, if one assumes that they _aren't_ using the data in ways that explicitly violate the rights granted by the GDPR.

Now if they are explicitly violating those rights, that's another story! I'd rather attribute it to ignorance than malice though.
