A German Court from Munich has ordered a website owner to pay a penalty of €100 for migrating personal data of users. The owner has leveraged the IP address of the users via Google Fonts library without the user's consent.

I’m annoyed by Google’s omnipresence as a 3rd party and by lazy web developers. I block Google fonts with uBlock Origin anyway and if a website is unusable without them… Well, good riddance.
