Could you elaborate on what you find problematic with their press release?

I'm slightly surprised by your comment. The release seems pretty factual to me? I too am sensitive to overwrought tech organisation prose (privacy/piracy/open source groups/basically anything to do with Assange) but this seemed ok. What about it strikes you as particularly unhinged?

The main word I can find that seems like it might be regarded as over-emotive is "plagued". Is it that kind of thing? [ OTOH, bad GDPR popups are pretty much a scourge... ]

edit: oh I guess the stuff about advertising firms depriving people of their "fundamental rights" is yeah a bit over-wrought...(though privacy is important, at least to me, and I think it's ok for a civil liberties organisation to care a lot about it).

IAB isn't a privacy organization, it's an opposite of privacy organization.

The article link no longer leads to the unintelligible screed of the Irish privacy org.
