You truly believe the US wouldn't do the same? BTW what's your take on US requiring US-based companies to provide data on foreign citizens if subpoenaed?

BTW what's your take on US requiring US-based companies to provide data on foreign citizens if subpoenaed?
- immibis 2y agoThe US does it through a private business (Cloudflare), so it's constitutional.
- troupo 2y agoI'm desperately trying to figure out this response, and I can't. Meanwhile: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41280221 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41280221
- cscurmudgeon 2y agoThe debate is what EU would do if foreign companies don't obey EU's laws. The debate is not whether the US will do something draconian the EU is doing today.
- troupo 2y agoWhat draconian laws does EU apply to foreign companies? Try to come up with examples of companies that don't have offices and legal and commercial presence in the EU. BTW remind me what's your take on the US banning Huawei in the US?
