Yes, but the average reader can't make that distinction and blames EU.

The joke is that CNN still violates GDPR with this trick.

I thank the LORD for GDPR. I am amazed it actually happened. I voted Pirate Party for EU Parliament every time, or whoever was most loud about privacy protections at the time, I wrote to parliamentarians, one of whom I grew up with, and I sure like to think and hope it made a difference. Never thought I'd see something like this happen. The EU works. Democracy works.
