Be 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.
- k-mcgrady 9y agoMaybe the EU/US Privacy Shield will help handle situations like the above.

- throwawaymanbot 9y agoThis is a US Govt overreach problem. Not an EU directive problem.
