I feel it should be opt-in, that is I should be allowed to opt-in to data sharing. Why would I want this? Well if I were in a western country, for redundancy.

If I were in a non-Democracy then I might want my data to not only live in another country but only live there to protect me from my own country.
- amelius 5y ago> I feel it should be opt-in Yes, and "opt-in" as in I send a form with my physical signature, not some EULA that I clicked sometime when I was distracted.

The article says the EU is demanding that the US allow EU citizens to sue in US court after their data has been illegally searched (and after the EU citizen found out; presumably due to suffering irreparable harm). I can’t imagine an EU citizen actually exercising this “right”. It would be better if they put minimum penalties in place, and they were decided by EU courts, and anyone in the EU had standing to bring charges. Concretely, if a human rights group could sue for improper data sharing, and the penalty was a business-ending block of further data transfer, then this law would actually have some teeth.
