At least they aren't pretending to comply with the GPDR yet blatantly violating it, for example by making it difficult or impossible not to opt-in.

Google cache seems to be the easiest method to view it:

Weirdly I assume then accessing via google cache does comply with the GDPR (otherwise they could of course block google via robots.txt).

From memory, google cache still fetches assets from the original site (and I think also triggers Javascript?) so it's possible this is kind of moot?

Guess the issue is similar, if I access from Europe via a US proxy. I'd assume those accesses are still covered by the GDPR, but it's not clear to me. Anybody know?

You are breaking a US law - CFAA. Which could be an interested showdown CFAA vs GDPR.

How is CFAA being broken here?

I think the joke here is that some people argue that usage not permitted by the terms of services is a criminal offense under the cfaa

I don't agree with this interpretation but I think cfaa is unsalvageable nonetheless. I demand a full repeal!
