It‘s a CDN, so it very well may be a "conduit". Maybe they offer edge computing services, I don‘t know. I‘m almost certain they don‘t offer data processing services though. They provide hosting-like services and process data in the normal course of that operation.

If I serve images from Akamai (or Cloudinary, FileStack…). Do you think that‘s problematic?

Do you think apple is is deceiving me when I download a song from iTunes?

Yes, the GDPR has rules that very clearly apply to CDNs, hosting providers, and etc.

What is new is that Akamai breaks those rules. I don't know the situation of the other ones you cite.
