GDPR penalty for passing on of IP address to Google by using Google Fonts

The whole strategy with Google providing “services for everyone out of pure gratitude” is:

- With Google Fonts, to track the identity of users AND the real popularity of websites,

- With Google DNS 8.8.8.8, to track everyone’s DNS resolutions,

- With Google Analytics, to track who sees what, even if they only display masked IPs to the owner of the GA profile,

- Etc with Google Maps, emails, they don’t provide those services for free, they can track everyone’s profile, down to their obedience to Covid rules.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Germany bans more aspects of using Google’s free services.

I agree, but the court did not ban Google fonts. It required consent before using it.
