    From the perspective of someone who prefers their privacy I'm not seeing a problem.

    If by "Big privacy-law changes" you mean they're going to have some, then yes that will make it harder for companies to just offshore data processing to these countries and not worry about what happens. How on Earth you can try and paint that as a bad thing for those of us who actually, you know, like having privacy after our details are farmed off to some offshore data processing facility is beyond me.
