#2Is this really the best move? Blizzard made a smart move; the player was going to piss off a large portion of their user base. Freedom of speech works both ways.

What both ways? Freedom of speech and speak out of belief is core to humanity for quite some times now. Money not an excuse to violate it.

A foreign country is imposing companies to self-censorship according to their thoughts. It's also not the first time, by a long shot.
Fun part Blizzard "has" a motto, "Every voice matters".

#5Is there no way to (mostly) automate GDPR responses? I too want to see Blizzard crash, but I don't like abuse of the law, and even less when the law in question has as many upsides as the GDPR.

Read differently your comment is essentially "We must tolerate intolerance"
No, we most certainly do not.

"Self-censorship" happens every day. I'm allowed to say whatever I want but I'm not allowed to force someone to give me a platform for my speech. This is not a violation of free speech in any way.

I agree with you, we should not tolerate intolerance. Why should Blizzard have to tolerate someone else's views? They are perfectly within their right to deny someone an association or a platform whose views that they do not agree with.

It may be possible with greenfields projects (write a single service to store this data). A system that in unprepared for GDPR (read: all systems before GDPR) habitually store redundant information everywhere. E.g. in-game chat logs.
