>I sometimes get upset when I see that every privacy and safety law is written to protect only US citizens,

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.

US and EU are very alike, I'm from neither.

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].
