The laugh is that, if it wasn’t for the EU, users of US-based social media
companies would have no expectation of privacy at all. There is nothing in
US law that prohibits companies collecting personal data and exploiting it
for profit. It is only those EU-based regulations that put any kinds of
brakes on such activity. And thanks to the way those companies operate,
such brakes are effectively applied world-wide.
