Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or capitalism, but it makes a political statement. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web" and I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today. localghost.dev/blog/this-pa...

Definitely agree to you all. But how do you deal with legal stuff? I am talking about privacy policies, cookie banners etc. These are all things that you can get a fine for if you don't do it properly.

In Germany, the IP address counts as user data. Most servers log IP addresses. That's why basically everybody needs a privacy policy except for private websites clearly meant for private use. Meaning strangers can't access websites. So, all websites that want German visitors need a privacy policy.

The IP address counts a PII everywhere the GDPR is in force. Many hosting providers do not log or store IP addresses by default and those that do, it's trivial to switch the logging off. Then you don't need a privacy policy or cookie banner of you don't store IP addresses

Could you point me to some providers that don't log these things by default?
