Re: If roles were reversed, would USA give EU more time?

"They have already made it a law that any data stored in an Irish server falls under the jurisdiction of the American government so this GDPR is just "child's play" to them."

Well no because that would be illegal under EU law and there would be VERy large fines if they did that. GDPR alao protects the data of Americans if it is stored in the EU. So companies like Microsoft will have littke choice but to make such data inaccessible from their US offices without EU based approval.
