> I'm curious to know whether DNS and your IP being in the the header of packets travelling through various different countries that can be sniffed is also considered as unwilful data sharing?
The IP has to be there for the return TCP packet, so under GDPR this falls under "strictly necessary" information.
If someone sniffs you, they now have your PII. They can't do anything with it that is not "strictly necessary" without your consent, otherwise they're also on violation of GDPR.
The only people trying to "break the internet through fear" are the doomsayers.
