I doubt they will get anything near the max penalty, if they get fined anything at all, since we're now in the 1-year grace period.
Actually how I see it, Google and Facebook are blatantly trying to downplay user rights under GDPR and people must be blind not to see it. I think they deserve a harsh punishment.
Grace period was for past 2 years and it is over and surely, they will be warned first, but I bet noyb isn't the only one filling complaint.

I stand corrected. It was my impression from multiple articles that fines would not be an immediate enforcement.
However, as much as I would like them to get slapped around, I believe the likes of Facebook are too smart/nefarious to act the way they do without having some sort of plan or escape hatch that would have them dodge said fines.

After reading the complaints, it is directed into common way how GDPR is beeing handled by large companies, showel everything under legitimate interest, update privacy policy and force consent, which is clear violation.
Now this is going to be interesting, maximum posible penalty for all four (combined) is 7.6 Mrd euros.
