I have a similar, but opposite feeling. Genealogy sites, even free US based ones, are (such as WikiTree) taking GDPR very seriously. Rather than risk being sued out of existence, they are marking any and all content involving living individuals as private unless the individual has an active account on the site. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to find links to living individuals. A ton of people have done a ton of work to build a shared public tree, and some 50-100 years of it are getting chopped off the bottom.
