Indeed, I will never stop being amused by the hysteria over the GDPR.

You know what makes it really easy to comply with the GDPR?

Stop spying on your users.

Just stop.

It infuriates people precisely because it threatens the ad surveillance economy this whole website and most of its users have come to rely on. Consistently, the sites I've gone to with the most intrusive and aggressive complaints and reactions to GDPR ... are also the sites that are riddled with spyware and tracking.

It is very much a case of "methinks thou dost protest too much."
