New browser signal could make cookie banners obsolete

I mean, a good first step would be to start fining companies 2% of the revenue. Especially Google. And then maybe automate the GDPR fines, because it's definitely possible to identify that a site puts up a non-compliant banner.

No need to add the threat of jail time, _especially_ if it isn't enforced.

2% of revenue while stalling the GDPR process and taking it to court for 10 years makes it only 0.2% ;)

Even so, it would be 0.2% per EU country, right? Because the legislation is transposed into member states legislation. I doubt that anybody would really want to fight (& risk losing) in even 5 member states per year...

That would be 2% each year for ten years of infringement though, and very expensive lawyers to pay for at least that duration.
