Interesting! These makes me remember the documentary/movie “Bananas!” which was about the criminal behaviour of the fruit- and vegetable company Dole. During the making the Americans involved in the making got so scared of being sued their house from them that they left the project. The swedes never cared about the threats from Dole. This also made the news on Sweden that even parliament members backed the project and said that Doles threats where so unethical.
Having said that, I think Goggle is just hiding behind the lawsuit threats.
It seems like the biggest issue with GDPR is that it’s comes from Europe and not the US? Historically speaking, Europe has in many issues come to agreement on technically solutions and industrial standards many years ahead of the US.
For example, Europe was first on texting on the mobile network while the US (single country) took years to come to a standard.
I think it will be the same with regards to GDPR. You (US) will discuss this for years and come up with a different law.
