    Well, look at it like this, when such laws become standard around the globe, and for example the EU decides to reject the US-EU data safe heaven idiocy, US businesses will overload the phone system in DC to get such laws in the US too, because more and more revenue will be lost, because it will be simply illegal to use an US provider to do anything related with personal data. Until this happens I guess nothing will happen in the US on this front.
