> companies to be even worse assholes

All companies? Every single company with a website even if without any trackers or ads?! All companies are evil and the single law that triggered their evil behaviour is good. Sure. Ever heard of Occam's razor?

Companies who don't track don't need any banner or popup.

> All companies are evil

No, but many, many companies are sociopathic assholes that exist just to make a buck. Otherwise we wouldn't need these laws.

All companies exist just to make a buck. And in the process they serve us with literally every single product and service we are using every second of every day. They play by the rules we put on them, making their life easier or harder, and in the process making our life easier or harder. Like this bad cookie law.
