I don't know what definition of "countries that honor baseline principles of privacy, human rights, and due process" they're using, but if they want to put the United States on that list, the bar must be pretty low.

On the other hand, this is going to be hilarious...

Germany: Hey America, can I get some data on this guy?

America: No problem!

(A few months later)

America: Hey Germany, can I get some data on that guy?

Germany: Uhh, you're not a country that honors baseline privacy, human rights, and due process.

I actually thought that was the most interesting clause in the whole thing. This would basically give corporations a way to make rulings on the behavior of nations, truly an ambitious move.

They have that option now, by choosing where they do business. Evidence suggests that they don't care.

"serious crimes" is another one of these weasel words. I'm pretty sure various countries have wildly different interpretations of what is a serious crime.
