        LOL. There's no reason why a news website needs your personal info to show you images and videos.

        Not even logging the IP address from which you are accessing them? Or the language preference associated with that IP address and session cookie? Not joking, those would be covered.

        Why log the IP address? First and foremost you're going to be interested from where in the world the access happened. So just install a GeoIP database on the webserver and lookup the location and store _that_.

        Yeah, and now we have to rethink that. Change happens (tautologies FY). I for one am really thrilled about the #GDPR – why do so many people see this thing as something bad, instead of what it really is: An oppertunity!

        Because the manner of its implementation, and the collateral damage, is bad; this aspect of GDPR will be EU CookieBanner 2.0, causing friction and hassle, benefitting no-one but the lawyers.

        A plain text site wouldn’t help cause you still have the Webserver logs with personal data unless you disabled logging.

        I'll tell you if a website is terribly designed when I can see it's data! Or if I think it's really badly designed.

        Honestly, there are a lot of sites that would be MUCH better in plain text… I love Reader in Safari because of that: it just drops all of the distractions in a website. BRING BACK THE CONTENT! Drop the rest.
