I doubt they will get anything near the max penalty, if they get fined anything at all, since we're now in the 1-year grace period.

Actually how I see it, Google and Facebook are blatantly trying to downplay user rights under GDPR and people must be blind not to see it. I think they deserve a harsh punishment.

Grace period was for past 2 years and it is over and surely, they will be warned first, but I bet noyb isn't the only one filling complaint.

I stand corrected. It was my impression from multiple articles that fines would not be an immediate enforcement.
However, as much as I would like them to get slapped around, I believe the likes of Facebook are too smart/nefarious to act the way they do without having some sort of plan or escape hatch that would have them dodge said fines.
