Yikes. Side question- anyone know if GDPR protects against stuff like this?
We really need a way to protect our data in the US. (I know GDPR isn’t related to US)
“If your organization collects, uses, or stores the personal data of people in the EU, then you must comply“

Yeah I meant it as a separate statement. Shit is whack in the US
Some states do have at least something, Virginia and California that I know of. We aren't Europeans though to gdpr doesn't apply to us, we just get tangential benefits from companies who don't want to have two ways of doing things depending upon if you're in Europe or not. If all those websites that added opt in cookie boxes to their websites and whatnot wanted to strip all that out and serve special pages to Europeans they could.
Except H&R Block have offices in the EU and they, knowingly, serve EU citizens living in the US (and likely EU citizens living in Europe).
