An excerpt, which sounds shockingly similar to GDPR compliance, listed as an example:

"APPLE, AGAIN

That wasn’t the only issue Apple faced in the country. Earlier this year, Apple moved Chinese iCloud data to a state-run company after new laws were enacted requiring foreign companies to store data locally."

The difference is that in the case of China (and Russia), requiring local data storage is intended to enable government oppression. EU countries have much better human rights records than China and Russia do.

Do you believe it is morally wrong for China and Russia to pass their own GDPR-esque legislation? And for corporations to comply with said legislation?

Motive and outcome are valid measures for deciding if something is moral
