I wonder how the recent ruling of the Bavarian state court regarding Google Fonts and GDPR affect Storj and this proposal?

Google Fonts is singled out here because the lawsuit was about Google Fonts. Courts usually cannot extend their rulings to matters not specifically mentioned in lawsuits. I suspect Google Fonts were picked by the plaintiff for simplicity. Had they picked something more complex, the scope of lawsuit would be larger, making the process longer and require more effort. Here it’s simple—the only personal data in question is the IP address and maybe some HTTP headers.

I now wait for a lawsuit asking about hyperlinks to websites hosted under the jurisdiction of the United States. Maybe EU websites will need to warn about them as well? That would be… interesting.

Yep. That’s why I mentioned it here, as I believe it will have some impact on Storj.
