Eh, maybe, but also maybe not.
Five states have passed their own privacy laws, with one in effect now and others coming online soon.
If this practice continues, and it likely will, it will soon becoming completely unmanageable for US tech companies to keep up with the myriad of state privacy laws.
At that point the federal government will likely pass a federal privacy law, which supersedes all the state privacy laws. And once we have a federal privacy law, it will likely be designed to at least be somewhat compatible with GDPR.
So, I don’t see the US going to war over this issue. I think the political winds are drifting in the other direction, and the US will follow Europe on this. Eventually.
