> Otherwise this is just another way to add barriers.

Personally I think pretty much everything in GDPR is just sensible guidelines for how to handle personal data, and if you're not willing to do those things then you probably shouldn't be handling personal data in the first place. Being ignorant of good data practice is not an excuse.

This is just rubbish. GDPR only applies to personal info for a start so if you don't store personal info then you have nothing to worry about. Even if you do store personal info the vast majority of use cases are really straightforward and require a very minimal understanding of the law to be compliant.

Furthermore you can often ask them for help (or so I have heard).

And yet it doesn't say "don't give it to me if you don't want me to have it."

So logging IPs is fine?

IP addresses are (probably) considered personal data under the GDPR.
