I would imagine, since the EU is where the Data resides, and the EU is the legal jurisdiction, that the EU would take precedence. Its monumental nationalistic and legal hubris to think that American law takes precedence anywhere in the world, let alone with an ally as large as the EU.
- luma 9y agoBe that as it may, there is nothing to stop US authorities from charging US companies with crimes if they were to comply with EU laws. They are in direct conflict, and any internet-based company operating on nearly any scale is in danger of running afoul of these sorts of issues. This isn't a Google/Facebook only problem, this is a problem for any web service that might store user data.

- ryanlol 9y ago>there is nothing to stop US authorities from charging US companies with crimes if they were to comply with EU laws There is nothing stopping you from shooting yourself in the foot either. (Or stabbing I guess in case you don't have access to firearms)
- throwawaymanbot 9y agoThis is a US Govt overreach problem. Not an EU directive problem.
