Hosted? Its a JS library. You run it on your computer. It downloads the SVG graphics and it replaces in real time.

It's on nearly every website.

And here is the mutation API for monitoring DOM changes.

I think it is important to remember law makers have zero fucking clue how anything works. And no one thinks to ask the programmers.

fontawesome can be hosted locally on the companies servers, or it can be hosted remotely from fontawesome itself through its own cdn. all this does is dictate where the actual files are pulled from to show for you.

the former is fine under gdpr, the latter isn't.

idk what else to tell you man, fontawesome isn't always locally hosted, and if it's not then it's not gdpr compliant.

if you really wanna debate this, go find one of the thousands of stackexchange threads talking about it.
