This isn't at all surprising but I still got scoffed at when I suggested that serving third party fonts, css, scripts, whatever without prior consent or contracts would be a violation. Tragically, I was just robbed of my told you so and was met with a mere well, this seems ok when I sent this to the very people who couple of years ago thought this would be nuts and that I was exaggerating. Part of the pathology of the kind of folk who like to cheer everything the EU does I guess.

My question is, why aren't we worried about the hops between a website and a user? There's who knows how many networks and routers in between them, and the packets might even hop outside the EU momentarily (!!!!!). Surely this needs some attention as well? Should we maybe consider an internal EU-only network? Or maybe the Commission could come up with a whole new routing scheme? I'm sure Europol would have tons of very sane ideas for one.
