    Surprising to me that he is based in the Netherlands. In Germany, this project would likely be criminal.

    He still might get into trouble over GDPR. He’s obviously counting on the exemption for journalism, but I am not sure if that works.

        Are you guys really unaware of the whole fundamental rights thing? Feels like EU people are always going on about it. I guess it rarely becomes clear what those rights are.
