I see very few (zero?) people groaning about data restrictions set by the EU.

  That doesn't mean it hasn't happened on threads you haven't seen. Anecdotally I've seen it happen a lot. Which, uncoincidentally, is also the reason why I mentioned it.

    I thought you were saying it's a popular or majority opinion, which I don't believe to be the case. Otherwise, why would it be relevant? Edit: I guess we can just see if any research has been done. If you trust this source, Americans seem to support (60% supporting versus 10% against) GDPR style data regulations [1]. 1. https://www.insiderintelligence.com/content/americans-say-bring-on-the-data-privacy-regulations https://www.insiderintelligence.com/content/americans-say-br...

      That's not the same as saying they support the EU's regulations. Just that they'd support America imposing regulations. The issue being discussed here isn't whether people are in favour of privacy but whether they're in favour of international governments imposing restrictions on the way their home-grown corporations operate. I appreciate from a high level the two questions overlap in this specific case study. However it's the framing of the question which really matters here, not the practical overlap.
