From a first perspective it actually looks good! I think these kind of regulation were really needed. But i would like to hear your opinions!

I think it’s the first law that companies will take seriously as it has % penalty instead of traditional “part of doing business” fine.

But GDPR had severe loopholes. Like not forcing a reject all cookie button

It does force it, if I’m not mistaken. Rejecting all should be as easy as accepting all. The problem is with enforcement.

Google got severely fined for not making the reject all button as easy to click as the accept button. Now YouTube has the reject button 1-click in Europe
