Very much right. The data privacy treaties and shit between the EU and the US were always 'we pinky promise to not read every last byte of your data, or at least we're not going to do it in a way that you'll ever find out anyways so same thing really', and everyone just played along like this was some grand compromise and was going to allow you to safely use services provided by US companies and that they'd stay compliant.

It was always clearly bullshit, so it's good that people are looking at it and wanting to get rid of that giant lie.
