Use of Google Analytics violates EU law, Austrian authority rules (www.euractiv.com)

The Austrian Data Protection Authority has decided that the use of Google Analytics violates the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Other EU member states could follow suit, as regulators cooperate in a task force in the European Data Protection Board.

Great!

Now all Data Protection Authorities in the World should do the same.

And also about Google fonts, "tagmanager", javascript, etc. Cloudflare, and many others...

Basically any javascript from any US company in a EU website violate GDPR. Prove me wrong.
