I think the EU is at least a bit more aware of this kind of tracking, and trying to do something to stop it. If I became aware of some (EU) company collecting my location info on that scale, at least I have the right to get to know what data they have on me, and to ask them to delete it.

I like GDPR but that relates more to corporate data collection than government surveillance. Mass surveillance facilitated by third party corporations is only one kind of mass surveillance.

What protections against mass surveillance does a person in the EU have?
