I'm not seeing a problem?

Because Youtube doesn't have problems complying with GDPR, as far as I know. Also, other videos would be unavailable as well.

Edit: you've completely changed your comment.

Just because the largest video sharing platform ever know is willing to comply with GDPR doesn't mean there isn't a cost associated, or that everyone is willing to pay that cost.

Regulatory moats are a thing.

Isn't privacy protection worth that cost? I value my right to privacy, and I'm happy that GDPR protects it to an extent. Not that this has anything to do with the news report being unavailable.

Oh, one of the world’s richest companies can afford to comply with EU law or eat the fines? Well I guess it’s no problem then
