Data is stored on servers, connected by networks, in various jurisdictions all over the world. If a company wants to operate in a jurisdiction it _must_ comply with the laws of said jurisdiction. If the company chooses not to comply the jurisdiction can impose fines, seek injunctions, pursue criminal trials, etc. That's how it works.
As a scientist I find regulatory over-reach tedious. As a citizen I find corporate illegality unjustifiable. This is not regulatory over-reach this is corporate illegality.
- gowld 5y agoHow can a corporation "protect European data from US access" when a European intentionally requests the corporation to publish the data to a US audience? How can anyone be legal, when the laws of different countries are in conflict?
- dathinab 5y agoIf you ask specific data to be transferred to the US it can be transferred to the US. But the profile a companies creates about you, your phone number for 2FA, (group) chats local to the EU, etc. do not fall under this. Though I'm not sure about public profiles, probably you also should probably be able to select to not share you public profile with the US.
