 As pointed out by @SergeyBiryukov in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41316#comment:77 #41316], the
 About page of WordPress shows content which is hosted on a third party
 server.

 The About page is linked in admin bar of any user role, including
 subscribers.

 The current user IP address and browser information is sent to a third
 party by visiting that page.

 This might be an issue for [https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/gdpr-
 compliance/ #gdpr-compliance].
