This go so against EU law that it is a straightforward attack on any international business which includes the EU, run by a "cloud" firm. It also places such a burden on local (EU) companies using, say, DO or Linode services... which will have to switch provider like right now.

These are what allows EU companies (which have to obey various EU and national data protection laws) to use US services which do not mandate such protections. I've never thought there was a reason to trust these, in light of the US government's view of the rights (or lack of rights) of non-citizens. But this seems explicitly to throw them out.
