I am not saying that US should protect the rights of non-citizens but this will likely result in retaliatory action by other nations on apps from the US.. though I won't hold my breath

Huh? Where did you get this idea? The GPDR in the EU isn't a US law, it's an EU law to protect EU citizens.
The US government really doesn't do much to protect the privacy of US citizens, certainly nothing at the level of the EU's laws.

No they are not. Just today, it made news here in HN that the (US) airlines will have to compensate their customers for cancelations/delays. EU has that for something like 20 years [1].

I sometimes get upset when I see that every privacy and safety law is written to protect only US citizens, when it is the US that creates and fuels those predatory companies. And I understand they basically don’t care if they destroy everyone if it benefits them. Great. But what are our governments doing?
