While I would like to see the outcome as you describe it (both US business and government could use a splash of cold water from the EU data protection laws), I&#x27;m not so sure that&#x27;s how it will play out. A common fallacy is to assume that the law and its implementation by government is <i>logical</i>, when in reality is full of contradictions, often on purpose.<p>The US has been throwing its weight around for a while now, so it wouldn&#x27;t surprise me if it demands &quot;special&quot; treatment, even when it contradicts its past arguments. Without more evidence, I wouldn&#x27;t rule out any possible outcome.<p>This whole revival of the Crypto Wars smells strange.
