Legitimate interests is not defined. So good luck with that.
Also you are responsible for downstream guarantees of legitimate interest.
He is right that open P2P protocols like XMPP, such as NNTP, IRC, bitcoin, ethereum, etc are not handled clearly.

Are you expecting GDPR (or any law for that matter) to define an exhaustive list of every definition, that holds true now as well as for the future? Have a rethink about that statement...
Yes. I do expect that. It is a reasonable expectation that the laws are clearly understandable by those subject to the laws.
Just as companies need to be specific about how they use data now the legal-judicial system needs to be specific about what it means and intends.
It is a double standard because the legislators are not interested in the commercial impact.
You say one thing, other people say other things.
It's easier just to say "this tool blocks Europeans" and problem avoided.
