In reply to Roy Tanck.

I mean really there’s no way Google can’t collect the end-user’s IP address if they’re going to serve the fonts. Self-hosting fonts is an option, of course — as long as the font license allows it, which it does in the case of all of the fonts on Google Fonts.

But honestly, the GDPR covers both the reasonable and the ridiculous, and it’s left to the courts to assess where a given complaint falls. (Fortunately in this instance it seems like the court got it right.) I’m based in the U.S. but a lot (possibly the majority) of the users of my plugins are based in Europe, so I’m paying attention.
