Both takes appear to be missing the entire privacy issue - you are free to share your data with the US if you wish. You are not free to share my data with the US. GP is correct, they are not free to share "any data", where their right to share "any data" and my right to privacy conflict. We all love our freedoms - but we have to respect that other people have freedoms too - and we don't have the freedom to take theirs.

That's an interesting way of putting it; you've phrased it in terms of your personal data and the sharer's personal data. But the context is analytics; single datapoints are irrelevant. This is all about sharing data about other people. Anyway, EU companies are not allowed to even collect data, unless they can justify it. I don't know if that is supposed to also be extra-territorial, so it applies universally (I really hope not).
