Comment (by allendav):

 This is referring to the logged-out commentor prompt "Save my name, email,
 and website in this browser for the next time I comment." and opt-in
 checkbox.

 But, as I understand it, @patricedefago is questioning whether commenting
 itself, logged out or otherwise, should require explicit opt-in consent
 from EU based commentors BEFORE allowing the comment to be sent, which
 wasn't the original intention of the logged-out commentor-prompt (that
 prompt was to safeguard the user's privacy if, for example, they were
 using a public computer to comment.)

 It is worth noting that we have an open ticket for consent logging: #44043

 It is worth nothing that comments can be edited, and that as of 4.9.6 can
 be exported and anonymized on request.
