Come on, don’t be obtuse. The problem is not advertising, the problem is tracking and using user data without consent. The fact that they do that for advertising is irrelevant. They would have the same issue if they were doing it for any other reason.

That’s what they did. It’s called the GDPR. One can argue that enforcement was insufficient, but the standard has not changed.
