A little bit more. The management of that data should also happen by people falling under the GDPR, so either EU members or people living in country's with compatible laws. The USA explicitly is not, because of the FISA courts with secret justice.
The problem is, some USA Googler can issue a query to an EU server and still access data he's not supposed to see. A FISA court can require him to do that and not tell anyone. No legal document written by a business can override a court decision, so nothing any US company can do helps here.
Google might create a local company with local personnel. The theory goes, when the USA Googler orders a lookup of some date, the EU Googler says can't do that, it's illegal.
I wonder why Microsoft's Office365 or Windows platform aren't hit by these lawsuits. The issues are the same, and the information gained seems much more interesting.
