> Especially with these European intentions I frankly believe this is more of a political war against US and US-based companies. (No, I'm not from US as well) Yes, that's happening, and it's a good one. Privacy Shield was cancelled because of Schrems II. The US simply don't care (intentionally?) to protected any data of people not living in the US. With FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) or "Executive Order 12333" they can get every data they want, even silently. Disclosing that a company had to handover any data will get them prison time. This is against the intention and protection the EU set for european people. So if a company is violating these terms, it's good to take action.
