I do recommend watching the episode of Follow This as suggested in the article (episode 7) if you’re interested in the latest deepfake tech, and its implications for fooling people who can’t obviously tell it’s fake.

Hi,

Is this even legal according to GDPR?

It's legal if you can use the site just normally after you've pressed the Reject All button and no data is collected in that case. Otherwise, it doesn't comply with GDPR. (Disclaimer: IANAL)

What do you do at buzzfeed, if you can/want to disclose?

I am currently a data scientist at BuzzFeed, analyzing performance across BuzzFeed's distribution channels, among many other things.

I did not work on Follow This, although I do appear in a B-roll shot. https://twitter.com/minimaxir/status/1034109759295647745
