White House 'deeply disappointed' by Europe outlawing Silicon Valley

The Senator is partially right...

"This misguided decision amounts to nothing less than protectionism against America's global data processing services and digital goods. It is a mistake that will wreak havoc on businesses on both sides of the Atlantic, and cost good-paying American jobs."

Tracking cookies, "personalised" ads, Phoning Home schemes, monetisation of customer data... All of that will suffer because data from the EU will have to be treated according to EU levels of data protection.

The poor advertising industry... my heart bleeds for them...
