Happily hosting a site that will cross 4 billion queries per year there, and I didn’t face that banner you mention :-)

Two things:

1) 4b queries a year is nothing. 4b queries is less than an hour for some of the software I have written.

2) The banner was a joke referencing the fact that the EU has a terrible track record with privacy.

Yeah but i wish most of those weren't glorified OpenStack wrappers.
