They get to collaborate with the rest of the world on security instead of relying on their government protecting them. This will push companies that are exposed to lawsuits to up their game and re-organize. And given their exposure to lawsuits, I doubt they'll drop the ball. They can't afford to. This is one area where the private sector should not need a lot of help.

I have a European perspective to this. This isn't as bad as it looks. The rest of the world should in any case not rely on the US federal government for their security. So, there was always going to be some duplication of effort needed here. And given the whole tariff situation, there is of course quite a bit of interest in non US based alternatives to your favorite US based trillion $ companies and their services and lots of companies giving the evil eye to any US based service providers. I've been seeing a lot of that lately with our German customers; especially in the public sector.

Short term mildly disruptive for some companies but not something to panic over.

It helps the American people because they will need to rely on foreign countries for their cyber security?

Heck, those nuclear subs and aircraft carriers are only making the American people less likely the collaborate with the rest of the world on security too.

Bin the entire lot

Color me skeptical. How many companies have lost sensitive due to extreme carelessness, time and again? The cost of taking security seriously is greater than the cost of settling after the fact.

I feel like even the biggest data breaches result in little more than victims being offered free credit monitoring.

I don't think anything changes here in a material way.
