So now, EC wants American companies to tell them "what you do with the data", by law.
American law states the contrary "whatever we do is secret, you can't tell anybody, or we will send you a SWAT team to your house, and imprison you forever. Foreigners are adversaries, enemies...you are a patriot if you collaborate, a traitor if you don't, like Snowden"
Who is going to win? Obviously what happens in FB or Google headquarters is unknown to the bureaucrats, so they will continue, they are Americans after all.
I can see FB and Google splitting into a US-based main company and an EU-based subsidiary. EU users will be handled by the EU company and US users by the US company.
...and every time the US based company prepares a new version, we can wait a few months until all the paper work had been filled out and the EU has approved it. Go VPN...
