How do you come to that conclusion? These laws apply to all EU based companies while non-EU companies have the clear option to opt out of them, which many do. If you want to do business within the EU, then you need to respect citizen privacy. Though I do agree that they should eat their own medicine, but here in the EU, we do tend to view private corporations as less worthy of our data than our own governments.
That being said. The branches that are working to secure citizen privacy and the branches that are working to ruin online encryption and monitor everything we do are often very sepperate parts of the government. So it's not exactly the same people.
1. The magnitute of effect these laws have on EU companies is miniscule compared to the effect on the US tech giants
2. The EU has no honest respect over the people's privacy as they fully surveil their citizens
Thus it ia very safe to conclude that the EU pretends to care about people's privacy as an excuse to protect it's industry against the ultra-high yields of US tech companies
