Contradictory regulations is one of the symptoms of overregulation.

I.e., complying to GDPR means you can’t comply to cybersecurity laws.

US has less of those.

How exactly does GDPR prevent you from complying with cybersecurity laws?

For instance, one of GDPR's 6 lawful bases for processing data is in order to comply with legal obligations.

If you're going to make strong claims like that, the onus really is on you to give specific examples.

		I wonder is the GP is referring to the CLOUD Act, as it is true that US companies cannot be compliant with both the GDPR and the CLOUD Act, but it doesn't weaken the case for European tech sovereignty.

Sounds like a broad blanket statement, have any specifics about this?

GDPR and cybersecurity laws are designed to be compatible, not mutually exclusive, but I'm sure there are edge-cases. Still, what exact situation did you find yourself in here in order to believe they're mutually exclusive?

All US companies selling to European customers have to comply with GDPR. European companies selling only to non-European customers don’t have to comply with GDPR. It’s all about who your users are. Not where your company is registered.
