That always seems like such a cop out. Ooohhh, I'm government, I'm so poor I can't enforce the law! Maybe let regular people help. If every time I found a web site that didn't follow cookie rules or GDPR or whatever, I could one-click sue them and get $1,000 or so, I would probably quit my job and just browse the web all day. There are so many naughty sites that count on toothless enforcement, people could make a fortune AND the law would get enforced.
