> your arrogance is just stunning.

Sorry if I don’t follow your reasoning, I’m still stuck at this piece of USA policy you seemed to have glossed over:

> Sec. 14. Privacy Act. Agencies shall, to the extent consistent with applicable law, ensure that their privacy policies exclude persons who are not United States citizens or lawful permanent residents from the protections of the Privacy Act regarding personally identifiable information.

"Agencies" refers to parts of the US govt; that is a US govt regulation for its own agencies with respect to its own citizens and the regulation of immigration. It has nothing to do with e-commerce, cloud storage, start-ups, web services, etc.

Just as France accords its own citoyens rights that foreigners aren't entitled to.
