Government spying on citizens is one thing. Companies is another. GDPR applies mostly to the latter, and in practice, today, most people in Europe aren't being harmed by their governments spying on them, but they are being harmed by private business abusing personal data.

I'd prefer if neither was the case. In the US, you can be certain that both are true.

but the us can, and perhaps did in the past, and perhaps will in the future, be able to access all that data nonetheless. it's not a dicotomy
