I gotta say as an American I really appreciate some of these recent things the EU is doing with privacy. They seem to have a bigger impact here than any actions American politicians come up with, which is depressing, but still deeply appreciated

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
But still with dark pattens. Is that allowed?
Good question. AFAIK, it isn't in Germany, but many cimpanies don't care.
I have filed a complaint with the gdpr representative in bavaria this month. Have you done your duty yet? :)
