Not quite - only everything US-based, since they fall under the purview of the cloud act, which is incompatible with the GDPR (on purpose.. this is an entirely self-inflicted wound by the US).

No anything with laws similar to the "cloud act", which is the norm rather then the exception, is illegal. It's quite rare for a country to allow companies inside it to say no to there government.

It's not about companies inside it, but companies outside the country.
And is it actually the norm? Since clearly even the US didn't have the Cloud Act until 2018. Was the US such a rare case until that recently?

This is interesting to me. The US is basically doing the same thing as Russia and China yet the media never talks about it...

I don't understand or really get what you're referencing.
The whole issue here is the USA claims global jurisdiction over US companies forcing them to obey the USA legal system even for data located in the EU. On the other hand EU law makes it illegal for anyone globally to turn over data for EU customers without a court order from the EU.
