It's not protectionism. The agreement with the US parent company allowed them to access the data! > A included clauses in the offer that stated, among other things, that it will not access, use, or disclose customer data to any third party, except as necessary to maintain or provide the Services, or as necessary to comply with the law or a valid and binding order of a governmental body. So it is a transfer of data from EU control to US control. Very clearly.
