It's called patents and now I wish EU had patented the core aspects of GDPR. Like, "Method of requesting and receiving informed consent" and, more importantly, "Method of requesting and receiving informed consent on a computer".

One specific thing is maybe a patent, but the whole liberal democracy with laws and all that could be run as a franchise.
