Is that actually the test? That still sounds like it would make every third-party CDN (Cloudflare, Akami, etc) illegal - a CDN isn’t “necessary” and logs IP addresses all over the place. I can’t help but feel that the situation is much more complicated and nuanced than the original comment in this thread is making it sound.

No, that's actually what the law says: https://rewis.io/urteile/urteil/lhm-20-01-2022-3-o-1749320/ https://rewis.io/urteile/urteil/lhm-20-01-2022-3-o-1749320/ So far, the courts have only selectively enforced it against Google, but any website which is controlled by an American entity, hosted by an American entity, or which embeds content controlled by or hosted in the US is de jure illegal under GDPR because it means an American court could theoretically get a warrant for EU citizens' IP addresses.
