Key objection I've heard to GDPR is "but what if companies would like to continue to violate our privacy with blatant disregard for the law or with only do performative compliance through annoying popups???". Yeah, what do we do with such lawbreaking? TOTALLY MYSTERY.

Because companies are largely in violation of the law. The wheels of justice turn slowly – especially when it comes to reining in big business – but they eventually do start turning. Here's a great case from Denmark on enforcement.https://politiken.dk/viden/Tech/art7657203/DMI-får-alvorlig-kritik-i-banebrydende-afgørelse?shareToken=zh-HZiAAK9BA …

I think the biggest problem with GDPR is that it pushed compliance to the edge. I wish it would have just forced the browsers to run incognito mode without cookies until consent has been given through build in mechanism.

Yeah, that's great fodder to the fact that we are scarcely done here. The evils of surveillance capitalism are entrenched. GDPR started treatment, and for that deserves immense gratitude, but we are nowhere near done.

Indeed. The correct take is
@tylercowen 's : People don't really care (And I think this is fine; I don't care either) about the sort of data privacy issues that the GDPR wanted to address. -
On the analogy: Many smokers didn't care about their health either but this is not an argument against the smoking ban. On gdpr> It's a matter of information (hence power) asymmetry

I’m pretty much in more control than I was before It’s just a bit more frustrating to cut those annoying ad behaviors off. Give me a tool to massively and easily deny those shitty consent boxes out there and you’ll see how many cookies I eat :D
