Gianluca Fiorelli notified me on Twitter that searches in the EU regions on Google now bring up a really really large privacy notice. The notice is incredibly annoying, obnoxious and makes you want to leave the search results.

This is a result of the new EU sentence that came down and I guess Google has to comply this way?
