General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) ⚖

Everything related to the #GDPR is discussed here. This is the first and only community specifically for GDPR topics which is decentralized and outside of walled-gardens. #EDPB recommendations and guidance can and should also be discussed here.
For the moment, chatter on the similar California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) could be discussed at least until the volume of messages compels us to split it into a separate community.

This kind of thing is super common for EU-based news sites, too. It's not (or very rarely) punished.
I dunno about EU - The most outrageous stuff is usually on US sites, and Guardian is UK.
In Denmark, the "reject all" button is prominent everywhere - I am not sure if it's a Danish or a EU thing, but I feel protected
Almost every major German news site does it.
Yeah there's a local Finnish tabloid (Iltalehti) that notoriously does this, and for some reason is yet to receive consequences for it. If the practice becomes widespread with sites like the Guardian doing it, I suspect the authorities will finally have to take a stance.
