Re: All those against it?
No. They have interest in doing business in Europe.
If that bill is voted through, after the ECJ decision they can practically kiss goodbye to the idea of offering USA cloud services to anyone in Europe. The bill specifically makes most of data fair game across the whole of USA government once it has gotten into the hands of law enforcement. This is exactly what was pointed out as illegal and contrary to Eu DPA requirements by the ECJ. It is illegal today, the bill makes it even more.
So one thing is clear, USA lawmakers have no intention of fixing the USA DPA legislation to enable any Safe Harbor like agreement any time soon. In fact they want to make it even more broken.
