Everyone knows that bad actors will continue to behave badly in the face of the law. This isn't the insight you seem to think it is. Really, PG's tweet has little to do with game theory or anything else. It is a first-world-problem whinge about having to click through cookie banners. Assessing the "actual outcome" of complex regulation and legislation is a task beyond the scope of a single tweet.

Or is the idea that the EU shouldn't have the audacity to attempt to regulate in the first place?
