Feature request: Report to Data Protection Authorities

[ulucs]

The original IDCAC addon accepts cookies/data retention when the option to deny is not apparent. This is an acceptable choice for the end user since they don’t care about cookies, but hurts the progress towards data privacy by default as it creates a set of users that readily accept unlawful behavior.

I propose a feature that does not detract from the user experience, but also helps data privacy on the web: if cookies are forcefully accepted, silently log a complaint with the relevant data privacy authority. This will enable the notified authorities to crack down on the websites which forcefully keep private data of users.

If such a feature is desirable, I can start working on contributing it.

Perhaps this should be limited to users from within the EU? Or do you imagine this being enabled for everyone?

Limited to regions with data protection authorities, so a superset of EU but not everyone

I think this feature falls a bit out of the scope of the extension at the moment.
