You truly believe the US wouldn't do the same?

BTW what's your take on US requiring US-based companies to provide data on foreign citizens if subpoenaed?

The US does it through a private business (Cloudflare), so it's constitutional.

I'm desperately trying to figure out this response, and I can't.

Since when do they bother with subpoenas ? Or are you referring to the secret courts rubberstamping wiretapping after the fact ?

I used subpoena as an umbrella term, there are multiple ways to get that data.

E.g. here's Facebook's report: https://transparency.meta.com/reports/government-data-reques...

In July-January 2023 they received FISA requests targeting over 150 thousand foreign nationals

The debate is what EU would do if foreign companies don't obey EU's laws.

The debate is not whether the US will do something draconian the EU is doing today.

What draconian laws does EU apply to foreign companies? Try to come up with examples of companies that don't have offices and legal and commercial presence in the EU.

BTW remind me what's your take on the US banning Huawei in the US?
