I might be missing something, but won't they actually have to get your consent again, on everything, but this time in details and with option for you to refuse without service degradation?

> (2) kill third party retargeting companies

Good riddance. That would be the second most annoying ad technique today, after ads interrupting your video streaming.

So, both Google and FB track people around the web, as do many web-retargeters. The web-retargeters have no reasonable way to get consent, but big G and F do, so it's likely that they will fill the gap in the advertising markets created by the lack of web-retargeters, thus increasing their power.

That's my understanding of the point anyway.
