OK fine no discussions, jeez.

So... what should we do instead?

Says who?
Refute me or shut up.
It is that easy.
Turkmen: "Will you sell my data?"

Me: "No."

The signal remains the same:

"Will you sell my data?"

"This interview is over. (I'm very busy.)"

Every site that gdpr-blocks itself is saying that they intend to extract value from your data and they don't want to tell you how.

the thing is "We don't want to get legal advice" is a ridiculous justification for acting on legal advice
