Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from "social" media?

Well, if thats the price we pay, thats the price we pay... :)

This is more bark than bite, imo. They're just threatening to withhold products at this point, but as the article points out:

Europe's a big market and profit focused companies aren't going to give that up just to make a point
Those that do will just encourage European competition to step up and fill whatever gaps might appear, which is just fine by the EU.

So... go right ahead. Let's see how this really plays out.
