@aral May all your days be filled with joy, my brother Aral. Just a little of your humanity, your compassion, and your noble stance. I beg you, a small plea that could save me and my children.

@aral many French newspapers (La Voix du Nord just as an example) also have these options so both sides of the Channel seem willing to stretch the meaning of tthe GDPR.

Much as Brexit is a stupid idea, this nonsense is also permitted in the EU, under a recent-ish ECJ ruling. Viadeo, for example, does it.

How do we replace it and by what?
