> This is basically European protectionism under the guise of privacy.

if if it's just that, it's pretty easy to solve, don't you think so? The EU is leading on privacy, no doubt, or better: the EU is (finally, and really a bit too late) doing something while, afaik, the US is almost doing nothing (except for CA).

I hope the EU is able to slowly write down easy to implement rules other countries can just cut & paste

In my little experience the EU is rather incapable of rolling out easy to implement rules.

The EU members get all of the privacy downsides and none of the financial upside from the American behemoths hence the legislative gymnastics to find them for $N millions every quarter and now further protectionist moves.
