#2It still doesn't help EU businesses navigate the clash between the US Cloud Act and the EU's GDPR, and seems more focused on appeasing US interests than safeguarding European rights.

#3It seems there is no cost to those who repeatedly implement these illegal frameworks. A modest proposal: Jail-time of twice their duration (from implementation to judicial strikedown) for the EU negotiators involved.

Yeah, looks like this will be valid for just as long as it takes Schrems to drag it through the courts.
Again.

#6Here in Europe, we are in a paradoxical downward spiral. And unfortunately, I see no end to it.
Understandably, we don't want our citizens to be spied upon by the US and have all that data stored in the US.
Unfortunately, our "solution" is to create regulations which cause so much disadvantage to European tech companies, that we will see our citizens use even more US built tools in the future.
We already live in a mostly US-built internet. Throwing more and more regulations at it only cements this situation.
It seems there is nothing to get out of this rut. Looks like we will keep feeding the patient a treatment that worsens their condition.

#7So the current approach is just to implement the same law after it was deemed illegal with minor changes as it takes some time until the courts decide it is illegal? What a joke.

What is the "disadvantage" to European tech companies who don't want to spy on anyone? What advantage do Europeans who don't want to be spied on gain by using US services that will spy on them instead of using European ones that couldn't spy on them as easily/completely due to pro-privacy laws?

EU regulations are not a monolith of good or bad. The cookie law is dumb beyond comprehension. On the other side GDPR is just great and I have yet to hear a good argument against it. The criticisms usually sound like listening to creationists talk about how silly evolution is (by that I mean they don't understand it).
The only way I see Europe develop it's own internet tech and big businesses, is to copy what China did by simply blocking the foreign competition. Today there would be no Weibo, Baidu, Alibaba or Aliexpress without it. And I don't see a problem in that approach, but wouldn't mind being educated otherwise.
Edit: I wish at least some of the people downvoting would have the intellect to form a paragraph of counter arguments, so I could understand why. It's like a sports event in here.

#10I wish that all of our governments would just be honest and admit that they are involved in massive amounts of illegal data collection, that they really love spying on their own citizens because it gives them a lot more power, and that they will never do anything to protect the people if it might mean they have to give up even a little of that power.
Any discussion about what can be done to help protect people's privacy and safety would go a lot smoother and progress faster if they'd skip all the theater and stopped pretending to take meaningful action. It's a waste of everyone's time.
