What will really happen - apps won't work without accepting tracking. So technically users will be given a choice, and in practice there will be none. Just like now - "Oh, you don't want to give us your contacts, sms, location and all photos? Fine, here is an app with every function disabled. You want to actually use the app? Give us permissions."


Even so, it's still better at the end of the day if users are at least aware that they are paying for their services with their data.


GDPR has some protections against degrading functionality, assuming they ever start enforcing it.
