Hey uhnuhnuhn,

we actually dropped datenschutzhelden.org because of other (mostly time) reasons.

But after we closed it in february, we still would have been legally responsible for the site.

As the project was already dead I decided to go the described path.

So just to be clear: Datenschutzhelden.org was not closed because of GDPR. But keeping the archive of it up and running in a GDRP World was to risky for me.

That makes more sense.

Maybe better to change the article because it states the opposite:

"I found myself at a point where I got so desperate that I was close to taking all of my stuff offline. But in the end I didn’t. I decided for the middle way: For some projects it’s worth the hustle and for others not. One project I ditched was datenschutzhelden.org."

That reads as: GDPR compliance was such a hassle you almost closed all your projects, in the end you only closed some of them and replaced them with WBM.

The article is updated :D
