This is yet another example of how the GDPR is bad law. "Intelligible and easily accessible" is way too vague.
Are 74 zip files intelligible and easily accessible? Of course not! I don't want to pull 74 links!
Is 1 zip file intelligible and easily accessible? Of course not! Way too big to pull in over my low-bandwidth connection.
Are zip files intelligible and easily accessible? Of course not! Not everyone understands compression.
...etc., etc. I'd have a lot more respect for that law if it spelled out concretes instead of handwaving technical details and leaving it up to regulators to decide what passes and what doesn't.
This is yet another example of a random commenter on HN parroting "GPDR bad" nonsense while being intentionally obtuse.
Laws are often written with "common sense" in mind. HN commentators prefer to eschew common sense to try and excuse bad actors, bad behaviour, bad UX, bad anything.
