I only skimmed through the beginning but I am not sure what the news is. Looks like they mostly/only? pulled it from some filings that I am sure was being put together by third party agents.
They separately confirmed it, although in terms of timing they were scooped by Reuters which generally means you publish what you have, when you have it.
I had the exact same thought. I wonder where those execs get the information from and more importantly, how the information is filtered, because they are clearly a few years ahead of what's being posted on, say, HN.
I strongly suspect that it was only self-reported because someone who used to work for the firm was now at the regulatory body and gave an old buddy a heads-up.
It does disclose it... this is at the end of the article:

Yes, “451: Unavailable due to legal reasons” and then some details about the GDPR (but not saying why).
My guess is a local news outlet that’s big enough to know about the legal requirements but doesn’t actually see any value in doing the compliance work.
Thanks, I don't see a link to that from the submitted Press release. I don't think it's fair to ask me if I haven't actually looked when I did in fact read the press release.
No, I did not spend extra time to click around, because I simply didn't care that much.
In any case I'm glad this doesn't fall under these shit laws (yet).
