There are a lot of admirable things about the EU, and this is by no means intended as EU bashing.

But could there be a more on the nose example of why the EU lags in tech innovation and entrepreneurship? An solo maker builds a cool little tool as a personal project, open sources it on github, and is immediately attacked for the effort by cosplay compliance regulators. It defies parody.

The commenters also have a cartoon understanding of the GDPR - the author of the Chrome extension is neither a data controller nor a data processor.

I'd ask the commenters that jump on a project like this to introspect a bit and try to understand why their first impulse on seeing someone's effort like this is to try to take it down.
