> I'm pretty sure this against the spirit of the GDPR.

I'm pretty sure almost every reaction and e-mail that I have got due to GDPR is against the spirit. I had never thought it would be allowed, much less massively adopted, to "opt in" 100% of your existing userbase by fleshing out your existing Terms of Service and that's that. I thought it would require a new contract/agreement with the user to be signed/clicked "yes" to. I swear by far most have just somehow pulled me into their new "more privacy aware" system.
