It would mean that apps discovered tracking users illegally, would be banned and fined locally.
And that means any money leaving the US, or money entering the US, would be eaily seized to pay fines. Everything from money paid by app stores, from ads, to renting commercial real eatate in the valley, funds being transferred in country to pay employees, all of it can be seized.
And the apps can be banned from all apps stores, and even eventually a court order to prevent any version from being preloaded. Anyone providing binaries could be fined per count, IP addresses of servers banned, DNS blacklisted, on and on.
Plenty can, and will be done, because that's where all this is headed.
And I might add, the above is "being a nice guy", compared to what China does in these circumstances.
