Complying with GDPR when using Google Fonts

As you may have heard, a German court fined a website using Google-hosted webfonts for violating Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This decision affects many themes in the directory. Most of us have been using Google Fonts by enqueuing from Google CDN. While it improves performance, it reveals a user’s IP address which consequently violates a user’s privacy.

How does the decision affect the existing themes?
