The EU should set some record breaking fines for this.

Maybe it's time to invent a tax that starts at 0% and goes up 1-X% every time your hand is cought in the cookie jar. And add a corresponding website where you can clearly see all violations by company.

Meta makes $70 billion net per year, after fines.
