I feel like the UK parliament is creating ane enforcing archaic privacy rules because they realized they can not compete on the technology front with US companies. Their plan is literally to sue US companies in order to gain a small footing/edge. I think what they are going to get is increasingly blocked. China is looking way more open an profitable to do business in comparitively.

This is that same tired, old accusation of protectionism in the UK and EU, and it's totally baseless.
US tech giants are behaving unethically and in some cases illegally. As soon as the countries in which they do business decide enough is enough, people (Americans I assume) cry out about protectionism.
How about just follow the fucking law in the countries in which you do business?
