Google was fined 50 million euros in 2019 because Android didn't provide enough transparency or informed consent for advertising-related tracking[1].
For a company the size of Google, it's a slap on the wrist (especially when compared to the 5 billion euro fine from 2018 over antitrust violations) but they have been going after the big players. In fact most stories I've heard related to GDPR actions have exclusively been about big players getting fined.
