    It seems to mean that companies can get around all your privacy protections, such as GDPR, simply by hosting their servers in the USA. Then they can mine your data all they like and you have no recourse. I guess the right people were paid/threatened, because this undermines a lot of the EU’s work on data protection over the past several years.

      either that or this was the playbook from the beginning for more political theater. Probably got some nice votes and exposure to the people “fighting” it.
