That's great and all, but then they're blatantly violating the clearly written rules of GDPR.

I'm an American citizen, so I have no real recourse with that, but their European citizens can bring the case to a regulator and they could very well be fined.

That interpretation goes against the spirit, and the very plain letter of the GDPR regulations.

I happen to agree with the European values more than I agree with your values.

My data privacy should be a more important and more fundamental right than your ad revenue.
