Dear Sir or Madam,
Due to the GDPR, it is not allowed to embed youtube videos, facebook or twitter widgets so the user automatically send data to their servers. A “Opt-In” is highly recommended. Could you publish an Update where Users have to explicitly click on it to start a connection with the third-party services? (Maybe do a thing that loads the content when it’s clicked and has an placeholder before, there are many sites that already have something like that)
Would be also great for the “Video” Articles, where the Videos are on top (instead of the thumbnail).
Also would it be possible to make an option to host google fonts locally?
I would even pay some extra Bucks to have that.
Greetings!

Hi,
WordPress did not include a special option or setting for embedded content such as videos, in their latest update

Maybe you can mention this in your privacy page or try a few plugins that would have some options for videos

I found this topic online, there might be more discussions in the matter
