Re: Yeah, but common sense, too...

Somebody in Dublin needs to call the US ambassador in for tea, biscuits and a bollocking but yeah, probably not going to happen.

Not the problem here. If USA pulls this one, watch the data protection regime between USA and Eu unravel in an afternoon. It will not even need a Schrem to use this as a precedent that USA does not give a flying f*** about any Eu Data protection law. That is something we all know, but an obvious precedent to be presented to the ECJ has been missing so far. These idiots are hell bent to create one. Well, fine, let them do it. All of the American high tech companies will be moving HQ offshore shortly thereafter making USA a subsidiary.

So it will not be the US ambassador called for tea and scones (what biscuits in Ireland?). It will be all valley companies having a kind word with whatever congresscritter they purchased last.
