They already have — thank them for every fucking cookie banner. UGH! Whoever thought that was a good idea is a huge fucking moron — it just trains people to click "Yes, allow, whatever gets this things out of my way the fastest." It's almost as bad as Canadian Geese — don't get me started.

(That doesn't mean I don't appreciate/envy the GDPR, as a US citizen.)

Liability already exists
