The reason is purely political.
U.S. could create privacy laws which were equal to every company but there is no will.
Comply with laws or get banned, applying every company.

- briffle 3y agoagreed, look at the top comment thread, its full of political discussions about why its okay for one country to do something but not the other... The real solution is that we should all have privacy. Encoded in law, with serious penalties. and that no country should be able to do what is described.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoHow long do you think such a sweeping privacy law would take to plan, write, and pass? Do you think they'd get it right? What might the fallout of such a law be?
- nicce 3y agoIt will take couple years, but many global companies have already faced that with Europe's GDPR legislation. Only problem with GDPR is, that fines seems to be too low.

- BLKNSLVR 3y agoPrivacy laws implemented now would undermine the profitability of "structurally significant" US companies and restrict the flow of data from these private entities to government entities, and thus would likely be seen as a threat to national security. Privacy laws are dead almost before they're even conceived. It would also create a very large spike in unemployment. I can't imagine how many jobs would be lost if the tech industry could no longer spy on the internet. I can dream though.
