I'm not exactly sure I trust EU either tbf. They haven't really shown themselves to be good stewards of understanding how internet works with their previous resolutions.
I can say the same about the US though, and at least the EU gives hundreds of millions of people far more rights in relation to their data than anything available in the US; a few US states like California give a limited form of this, but by far not most.
So, while you’re right that the EU and the US both have flaws in this area, this move is still an improvement.
