Only issue is they need to be hit with more and more and more! It's always some spare change for them and the companies always just pay it and don't change. We need a lasting solution or giant fines in the billions, otherwise I don't see those companies ever stoppibg this behavior. For them, this is just a tax they have to pay to continue collecting data. This needs to change.
