It doesn't need to be argued it's a perfectly valid reason (and has been reaffirmed by different DPAs), the GDPR does not define what a valid or a non valid legitimate interest is, it just has to be well defined and transparent. I suggest you read the "legitimate Interests" part of the document you provided. >It will be argued the marginal value of each additional exposure of the reader's private data does not outweigh the individual's right to privacy. There is nothing in the GDPR that puts on legitimate interest over another including your so called right to privacy.

> There is nothing in the GDPR that puts on legitimate interest over another including your so called right to privacy. In fact there is one exception which thankfully limits legitimate interests of data controllers: "processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child." It remains to be seen in practice how much data controllers' interests can be overridden by "interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject".
