 Hi,

 the first beta release 4.9.6 has a few optimziations due to the GDPR, but
 I think, WordPress is missing two very relevant features. With the latest
 beta release, WordPress would not be legal for use within the EU - except
 you´re using WordPress as private notepad!

 1) oEmbed two click solution: similar to the shariff plugin, all embedded
 items via the core WordPress oEmbed function need a two click privacy.
 Only when the user first clicks on the embedded item, the scripts should
 be active and the user can view / listen to the embedded item.

 2) The emoji script is loaded from Automaticc. There is no possibility to
 disable this behaviour or the best would be: load all scripts locally.
 This is one of the relevant of GDPR: you cannot tell your users or
 lawyers, why it is relevant for using your site, when specific scripts
 like emoji are loaded from a CDN. There is no need for a CDN.

 It would be great, if you could still imagine to implement those both
 things, because they are rather important than a general privacy policy
 page, which the most users of WordPress had already created as a single
 page. And I think not all related core features needs an extra plugin,
 when it´s time to develop the core further. WordPress should go ahead and
 implement more features to the core than letting even more plugins used
 for a proper website.

 Thanks and regards,
