This is great news! For far too long, Website owners have been collecting data on their users at no benefit to the users themselves. When website owners try to collect data on their users (for any and all reasons) it just violates the privacy of those people and needs to be put to an end. Those French website runners should really create their own, CNIL and GDPR compliant anonymized data storing, rather than using off the shelf, low cost alternatives. After all, things have been a bit too easy for them. (Running a website is pretty easy, I would know!). In fact, The fact that other, compliant-data aggregators, offer fewer features and lower reliability is actually a good thing. Trying to improve your website or even pester me with whatever you made is just irritating spam; I can't believe those independent owners would even dare. They should just be flushed out of existence.

HEY! Why is everything being centralized to just a few services? Why is the web dying?!
