I'm confused.

Thanks to the CloudAct there is not protection of EU user data no matter the location of the servers.

That would be incorrect.

IANAL, but cloud act purpose is to allow the usa government to ask data from USA-based or USA-related services providers, for offsense/crimes.

It does not allow service providers to do anything else with that data.

But what could Uber do with customer data on US servers what they couldn't do with the data on EU servers?
