>Apps will use near-field communication technology and other mechanisms to track us
Ok, well, the EU mandates opening up this tech to apps, some apps then violate GDPR in various ways leading to big fines for those apps.
Now someone is going to say fines with GDPR have not been big enough, but I think they are slowly increasing (because really that is typical gov. policy, don't go in with big fines, start small, and later when hitting big you can say but we have been very reasonable), and also, just maybe the fines for people moving into a new field with predatory tracking from the get-go will get the big fines and be shut down quick.
you don't, you give them the maximum fine and they go out of business. If they don't pay the fine they are criminals, they get removed from platforms they are on.
