If you could sue people for real money when they violate said header it might be taken more seriously pretty quickly.

I don't believe that you can sue under the GDPR. I've always understood it to be something that you can lodge a complaint against someone with your local authorities. No idea about the CCPA but I wouldn't be surprised if you could considering how lawsuit-happy Americans are.

I don't believe that either, I just think that flags like these can only be taken seriously if all actors have maximum incentive to take these seriously.
