Ask HN: What does the GDPR penalty for loading fonts mean for website owners?

Story of GDPR penalty for loading external fonts from Google - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30135264

I was thinking of starting my own blog recently. I like the idea of having comments section in blog powered by Disqus or another service that can be embedded in website with javascript. But this will be violating GDPR? Is it risky move?

From now on we should load all page resources from the same domain? No more using of external javascript to power syntax highlighting for code blocks, commenting section? What do website owners think about this penalty decision? What changes will you do to your websites to protect yourself?
