That was just an obvious lie. No wiki skin is going to be illegal. Not gonna start an argument or anything, but the staff said that it is a violation to the GDPR. Honestly, I still kinda think it's just some lie and probably some weird excuse to remove Monobook. I guess they honestly had to do it, even for a weird reason.

It was a lie. They clearly did it since ads don't show up in Oasis. Doesn't help them with adblockers though.

Like said in the previous thread: It's because they didn't want to run two separate compliant tracking systems in the differing skins. Monobook itself is not illegal or it wouldn't still be used by, say, Wikipedia.
