There's precedent for the EU and other western European nations pressuring the US to do the right thing. It would behoove European leaders to put some pressure on the US to pass their own domestic privacy laws in line with their own. Diplomatic pressures could be useful here, in conjunction with domestic lobbying.
As a US citizen, I'd love European style data protections enshrined as law.
- dijit 3y agothere are actually some data protection laws enshrined in US law, the US enters these agreements because they are doing the same thing as I described but in the inverse. GCHQ is the preferred proxy for NSA.
