Hmm strange. iCloud relay has been consistently causing me to get geolocated in Switzerland. I’m in NYC.

Ublock Origin's element zapper or picker gets rid of it. Can't seem to reach archive.today/is/whatever sites today.

GDPR fines are up to 10 Million Euros or 2% of total global revenue, whichever is higher. Maybe an EU citizen should sue them, since that behavior is listed as a dark pattern in the guidance.

Anyone can report them for investigation. I forget what the contact email address is but I had to add it to my GDPR compliance page so I know it exists.
