Care to point me in the direction of more information about this?

As far as I can infer I think they might be referring to NATO?

What are you talking about? GDPR is pretty clear.

I mean, I would agree. The EU courts have ruled pretty much every cross-border data sharing agreement with the US as illegal (e.g. Safe Harbour ruling eight years ago). The EU Commission considered that data transfers to US were not compliant back in 2000, which led to the Safe Harbour in the first place.
Despite all of this, we haven't seen any creation of an EU internet, and even in this latest ruling, they've suspended the ruling until they hope the new system comes into place that will allow cross-border data transfers to the US.
The point being that politically, there is no desire in the EU to cut themselves off from the US internet as you see in China, Russia, etc.
For this reason, I don't think we'll ever see a Chinese-style expulsion of US tech companies from the EU.
Therefore, we've seen over a decade of a dance between the judiciary banning data transfers to the US (Safe Harbor ruling, etc) and then politicians overturning these rulings before it actually impacts anything.
