It's May 25th, 2018, and 9 hours and 14 minutes ago GDPR came into effect. I tried opening this link, which I imagine links to some news or media outlet. This is what I see:

451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons Sorry, this content is not available in your region.

Best of all, if you check the traffic, you still see it sending your info off to Google Analytics.

Try uMatrix: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix

Super simple web connection switchboard by Gorhill (person behind uBlock Origin).

It allows you to assign certain addresses and elements to block calls from/to. For example 'www.google-analytics.com'. I use it as a catch-all when loading a web page, then release elements that I want to load.

AKA tracking a visit or something. GDPR is so blanketed that some sites are just turning off access since it's easier to do.
