There are so many problems with that with regard to GDPR. It’s not even linked from the signup page, so I’ve never even been informed about it. I’ve never been given the option to consent or reject consent to anything. You also can’t just say it’s “irrevocable” and pretend like GDPR doesn’t apply.

How is not posting it publicly consenting to it being available publically?

Yes. It's simply concludent. If you post on a public website you consent it can be crawled. Duh.

What is that supposed to mean? My map tells me I’m in the European Union, which means GDPR applies.

Which problem exactly do you have with a summary statistic on anonymous data you consciously and deliberately contribute to?

The HN is pseudonymized, more anonymous than the kernel git.

So what's next? Prohibiting git clone on the kernel git? Because someone could do summary statistics there?
