Brazil did that. We have a new set of laws called LGPD that allows users to revoke the consent whenever they want - all data ever collected or provided to a service must be deleted. Not turned anonymous, not shared with Facebook, not "under the ToS it's ours" - deleted.

Heaven knows that ToS would allow companies to kill you unless the law stepped in.
