So... turn off Bluetooth and Wifi when you go into a store? Put subtle lines on your face with makeup to confuse their facial recognition systems? What else do

So... turn off Bluetooth and Wifi when you go into a store? Put subtle lines on your face with makeup to confuse their facial recognition systems? What else do we need to do now to go out in public?

What you need is something similar to EU-GDPR! This would be illegal on so many levels in Europe.

  fyi BLE tracking is both completely legal and has wide spread usage all across the EU. there’s hundreds of EU-based companies that provide these kinds of services.

    Getting the data might not be illegal, but storing it without a direct reason or permission would be illegal

Extend laws against creepy stalking to mass, blanket versions of same, even when a corporation does it, online or IRL.

Physically dismantle every data broker's office and data center? Not sure what else would be effective.

IIRC turning off Bluetooth does not turn of BTLE, at least on some devices. So even if it is "off" you can still be tracked.
