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!
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?
