Yeah that's not how GDPR is written, there's no provision for notices, that's the law and it's available to everyone to read.

All of Amazon's competitors, including my employer, have spent a lot of money and energy to comply. Why Amazon decided to just ignore what everyone else knew was a big deal is beyond me.

> this dynamic trends towards fines being seen as a simple cost-of-business rather than a true penalty/punishment

I'm sure they ignored it because they thought they would make more money that way.

Edit: Also, to be clear, by "system" here I mean the overall environment not specifically the EU or the GDPR.
