We will see this trend of blocking US ownership more often. Any government cannot and should not give access to their own government, citizen data to foreign buyers no matter how good the relationship is.

Beside the point, this is drawing clearer picture of US control: losing. Us is seen as a threat and coercion making practices start with owning data using that as control.

You seem to be assuming citizen data was being transferred. Do you have evidence of that?

By law the US govt is able to compel access to any data controlled by an American company, regardless of where those companies operate. There doesn’t need to be specific evidence of this case, it’s true of all cases.

Some American companies have tried to establish convoluted workarounds in Europe to get around this, but as far as I’m aware it hasn’t been tested in court yet.

That was the info of individuals = citizen's data. Am I wrong? What would be considered "citizen data" just to be clear?
