No, you are responsible ultimately for what information you reveal or don't.

It's all good having some big behemoth like the EU laying the smackdown with GDPR for companies and sites but that shouldn't mean you let your guard down and expect all sites to follow the rules.

I don't need to care about trackers because I am blocking them pro-actively.

I am the GP poster.

I have NoScript installed and temporarily allowed domains because I wanted to see if a website about stopping mining mines its users.

However, I agree with you, people need to stop downloading random (potentially malicious) javascript and executing it. Getting your info stolen is someone elses fault, but your responsibility.

I think you mean ultimately here, penultimately means last except for one (so that there is someone that is even more responsible than you for the data you reveal or not)

That's all very true and still misses the point.
