So will the EU fine them for violation of GDPR?

I reckon they don't track you if you're in the EU.

They do if you have the wrong settings. The location of my SSID is know publicly and I guess it was shitty Android or Apple devices phoning home. Guess I need to switch wifi name and mac to something more common...

But you have no defense against that if casual users regularly visit your location or just come near it.
