Uruguay? I wouldn't exactly call them for known being a tech nation...

So why does USA fail at this? Or are they just too big and diverse for that sort of stuff? And you can't really expect such nation to succeed... In anything...

Because, and I'm going from memory here, should be Schrems I or Schrems II if you want to dig deeper, in the view of the ECJ (which invalidated a similar recognition for the US) the US doesn't provide a satisfactory way for EU citizens to contest their data being accessed by US government agencies

It's not a tech issue, but a govt issue.

Look up the cloud act. It essentially makes it impossible for any US company to truly comply with GDPR.
