The Guardian now blocks privacy settings behind a paywall. And you still see adverts if you pay.

Gotta love how the legal system here outright ignores the laws that they're ruling on, GDPR states that the accept and reject buttons need to be equally accessable.
Of the 2 million most used sites in the EU not even 10% pass the lowest bar of the GDPR. Thing is, that when the problem is this wide spread, the courts don't want to open the floodgates when they start to percecute all those websites.
Persecute? They're ignoring privacy laws.
Have a staff member verify a complaint is accurate. Send cease and desist to the domain admin, advising which law they're breaking and remediations necessary. Wait 4 weeks. Send auto-fine to domain admin. Wait 4 weeks. Open formal audit of the companies GDPR compliance.
This won't happen because we live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as democracy.
