@manton actually sueing very small sites is a common practice. Since defendants don’t have the money to actually defend against the opposing attorney most people „just pay“ in order to prevent further damage. [termageddon.com/google-fo...](https://termageddon.com/google-fonts-violates-gdpr/) I run a website for a local kindergarten and even that was sued. It’s quick money for lawyers.

@manton @jean Hey there! 👋🏻 I really love the idea of micro.blog and i WISH i could use it properly but german data-protection laws (which go beyond GDPR) require just so much data to be present inside my Data Policy that i am shying away from using it :-(

Are there any resources about legal usage if micro.blog in the EU? Inside the EU, a ton of people are currently being sued over usage of Google Fonts, which transmits the IP address of the visitor to the U.S. A colleage had to pay ~$800 in fines. That why i am so hesistant :-/

Any ideas?

Greetings from southern Germany!
