> Because the US or Chine government can't harm me in Europe via the data they collect from me

That's an amusingly naïve perspective. The US government absolutely can harm you, via a multitude of ways.



Not to speak of russia who have been sending assassins to kill people in the EU for a long time, and the EU has not been very good at stopping those.


Also, Chinese-owned firms are known to be transferring EU citizens' data to China in violation of GDPR: https://noyb.eu/en/tiktok-aliexpress-shein-co-surrender-euro...

China's government has strategic goals to destabilise and weaken the EU, and data-farming will be part of their strategy.
