GDPR Hall of Shame

Hey! I made this, mostly just to poke fun at my inbox being here in Europe and experiencing it first hand. Feel free to fire me a reply with any good ones you've spotted; I'll be actively adding through tomorrow and beyond.

The Endomondo app is a doozy. They require opt-in to two items to carry on using the app, but then also say that by clicking continue, you're agreeing to their privacy policy, which indemnifies them against GDPR. It's slightly clever misdirection, in my opinion. I clicked 'OK' in the end because the EULA appears to be invalid anyway; by borking the consent process they have no legal basis for processing my data.

Judging from the CloudFlare 502s, you have successfully been HN'd. Might be time to add in a static cache in front of the site.

Could you take another look at Yahoo? I don't see the link you mentioned to walk through the huge list --I couldn't find any link that gets me to those two pages.

Thanks! :)

Edit: Thank you for making this!!
