That isn’t about data protection— it’s actually the opposite, it’s about Euro banks sharing data with US authorities. Furthermore the unintended consequence of FATCA is that many Euro banks stopped allowing accounts from Americans because they didn’t want compliance risk. GDPR is having the same effect: US companies will refuse service to Europeans because of compliance risk.
