If only my government were as thorough when it comes to US firms and the Cloud Act. :(

It's because it's only unlawful when a non NATO country does it. Otherwise your information is free to market.

As much as I like to shit on the Gouvernement, the EU has shown a surprising amount of teeth when it comes to enforcing the GDPA including some hefty fines for multiple US based companies like Facebook and Google.

You're an optimist. The fines were insignificant, and these companies are collecting more data than ever before.

Then there will ve more fines and they will be even larger. That's the nice thing about the GDPA, it has the abiliy to actually hurt these companies. :)

From a security standpoint the non-NATO country allied with a NATO enemy is of course a lot more concerning to Germany than another NATO country.

Yeah but it's OK companies spy on us which is normalization of a police surveillance state which is fascist before democratic
