It’s only really illegal if someone tests it in court… who wants to try and find a lawyer to challenge every newspaper in the EU, Meta, Facebook etc.

    This has already been challenged by complaints to data protection authorities and court cases.

    And the result was this guidance detailing exactly how to implement it, direct from the Governing body in charge of enforcement of GDPR:

    Edit: and this was a result of complaints and a public consultation, not any court case AFAIK.

    You've misunderstood the GDPR, what are you referring to is the UK GDPR, not the (EU) GDPR.

    I assumed UK GDPR as the Guardian is a UK Newspaper.

    The UK GDPR is officially referred to as the UK GDPR, while the European GDPR is just called the GDPR, as it is the original.

    This community is mainly for the GDPR, likely the European one, as the EDPB is mentioned in the description.

    The GDPR applies to everyone providing services in the EEA, as per Art. 3 GDPR.

    Therefore you should've clarified that you're referring to the UK GDPR.
