> Consumers who are more concerned about privacy could have set their browser to automatically block any non GDPR compliant website.

It may not be your intent, but defaults matter and what you're wishing for here is de-facto scuttling of the GDPR.

Are you implying that the vast majority of consumers aren't concerned with their privacy and would keep using GDPR-compliant websites? If that's the case, isn't the regulation somewhat against the spirit of democracy?

    False premise.

    Users simply aren't aware, but once they learn about it, they become concerned,

    > If that's the case, isn't the regulation somewhat against the spirit of democracy?

    That's a really weird argument.

    Anyway, that's not the case.
