There are lots of data collection rules that US companies have to follow. This I see as an alternative to outright banning. I'm sure Facebook, et. al. are audited by EU agencies to make sure they are in compliance. I think the reason for the outright ban is more due to it being a Chinese product. China isn't known to be very transparent.

There has been a lot of attempts with multiple iterations (see https://www.burges-salmon.com/news-and-insight/legal-updates...).

Sadly European intelligence services actually want US to spy on their citizen in order to gain access to the data legally.
