That's not how any of this works. We weren't going to get fines dropping on the first day.

"The EU is going to extract huge fines from everyone and their dog!"

"GDPR is useless, they aren't even fining violations!"

I'm waiting for "They are applying the law inconsistently - we got away with obvious violations for a year and now we don't anymore. The injustice!"

I really hope it doesn't take the EU over 4 full months to prove a cookie banner is in violation. That seems like a straight forward infraction if the way people have interpreted the law is accurate.
