What you say is a gross misrepresentation of what GPDR is. First it allows to record and keep the relevant data for sales and legal requirements. Second it applies to government. Comparing facebook vs government is really a dumb fallacy, why would government be unable to use facebook for whatever ? and facebook to cooperate to that ? it is already happening, look at what happened in the Philippines with Rodrigo Duterte[1].

Cargo Manifests: General Today a cargo manifest is the document that states what a carrier has loaded aboard a vessel for delivery to the United States. The creation, submission, and retention on board of the manifest are tasks that are the responsibility of the vessel carrier and are regulated by law and regulations. Proper manifesting is a requirement for allowing the entry of inbound vessels and for the issuance of a permit to unlade. We recognize that the cargo manifest has become a document that is used by the government to prescreen cargo for national security reasons. It was not designed for this purpose and has some limitations in this regard.
