I work for a major news media company and our GDPR compliance has been extremely difficult with our relatively small dev staff that manages many news outlets so we've opted to block access from all of Europe. It's gotten a lot of press, but it's an unfortunate reality. Most of our adtech and analytics vendors we use have put the burden on smaller companies like us -- ripe for disaster.

Hounding another user like this counts as personal attack, and a virulent strain of it to boot. If you do this again we will ban you.
Please treat others respectfully on this site, regardless of how strongly you disagree with them or their employer.

Your snarky attitude is the real embarrassment, and you misread into what my feelings are about GDPR.
Agreed that our company handled it poorly -- and that's on our leadership (which is a much much longer story) -- Note: my opinions are not the opinion of my employer.
But your real anger should be directed at your technologist/programmer peers who work at Facebook and Google who take six figure salaries and compromise moral dignity, not at media outlets, or small companies -- and from reading your comments on HN -- we can agree on that.
