Isn’t California data privacy law more or less equivalent to GDPR? If Silicon Valley’s companies don’t conform to GDPR, I would expect them to face the same type of issues locally. That will maybe come in the future, GDPR is still fairly new, that type of stuff can take a long time to develop.


I think most of the problems came from EU data being sent to US located servers, that won't be a problem for silicone Valley and California laws


No, California's data privacy law is far weaker than the GDPR, though far better than what most of the US has.
