I prefer some targeted ads. I'd like to be able to opt in or out. Why do you think that what I want from Google should not be allowed if it's a win for me, Google, and advertisers?
Perhaps a middle-ground will be centralized batch opt-in services that opt you into collecting for most ad networks and sites.
The requirement not to deny service for people who don't opt-in should prevent that from being used as an end-run around the regulations, but we'll see.
There's the possibility of digital citizenship for some EU member states but I have no clue if it grants any of these rights or protections, or is even legal for most countries (or specifically, America).
I wouldn’t, but if anyone thinks their privacy violations are so egregious then they should refrain from using their services. No one is forcing them to use the service.
To the person that downvoted this - anyone can use DuckDuckGo, Apple Map, Dropbox, Airtable, any one of hundreds of email service providers, etc to avoid Google. It’s actually fairly easy to avoid.
