The EU really is a force to be reckoned with. Long live the EU.

Why? They just doubled their user tracking.

I don't think that's how it works. Your location doesn't change based on the app you have installed/open/etc. Neither do your purchasing habbits. It would be a waste of storage and compute to collect, process and store the same data twice. And even if the engineers haven't bothered - at the end of the day it's still a single set of data.
