Safe harbor has always been a joke to begin with. A promise of good conducts with no checks whatsoever, that&#x27;s not how humans work.<p>Forcing the data to be in the EU makes it much harder for the US govt to look at the data in bulk and non-obvious ways, as they now have to either backdoor remote systems or transmit data back, instead of just having their little machine in the datacenter.<p>Of course, EU will have their own little machine in the EU datacenter, but at least the intelligence gathering is then split (which helps protect EU companies from US companies - in case you did not notice and you&#x27;re born yesterday, companies govern the world, not the government per se.)<p>Now to implement user-side and end to end crypto in everything regardless..
