What an absurd analogy. Nothing is being stolen from the user. The user has no copyright on their browsing habits.

They do now with the GPDR. You talk like all other IP is something that is a physical fact and not something that the government decided to create

Yes, I know they "do" now with GDPR. The EU has descended into complete madness.

Does this law not apply to organisations that don't make money? I was under the impression it applied to anybody and everybody.

It does apply to everyone, but since data is so valuable now, I would think the ethics still apply.

Data about users has become a valuable asset, and taking it from people now is depriving them if that value, whether or not you personally use it to make a profit.

The problem is that I can't afford the services of a lawyer, or a data protection officer, for a non-profit project. Especially not to satisfy regulations made in a foreign land far away from my own. So the only option left on the table is to block the EU.
