They call it GDPR-friendly because there is no serious enforcement of the GDPR and so they know they will fly under the (non-existent) radar.

This is the same reason how websites claim to “comply” with the GDPR with a cookie consent prompt that only allows you to accept (and declining is hard/impossible).

What you’re saying is that they are not indeed GDPR-friendly? That would make their claim a false one.

Absolutely. I’m not sure why you’re surprised when 90% of websites out there with a cookie banner also lie (maybe even to themselves) about their GDPR “compliance”.

As long as Google can get away with ‘accept our cookies or you can’t use YouTube’ GDPR is a toothless tiger.
