Thanks! It's a difficult balance to walk, I've taken to just trying to write great HTTP articles and ignoring the advertising angle entirely, seems to be working OK. Do try out HTTP Toolkit and let me know what you think, but it&#

If you're scraping personal data - e.g. people's names, email addresses, employment info or similar - then you probably fall under GDPR here, unless you can somehow exclude all EU users from scraping entirely. Companies have been
