The mistake here in Europe is that an ip address is considered personal information:

https://www.ra-plutte.de/lg-muenchen-dynamische-einbindung-g...

This makes it impossible to use any components hosted by third parties without getting consent by the users. And for components hosted in a different country than the visitor, even consent might not make using those external components legal.

This is bad and not in line with reality. The IP can only be turned into personal information via cooperation of the users internet provider.

So in Europe, the whole internet is made illegal based on a wrong assumption.
