California's laws do not imply that the only way to keep user data safe from privacy violations is for all Californians user data be processed and stored on servers in California.

That is not what GDPR requires

There is no problem storing data outside of the EU if GDPR standards are met. Switzerland, Iceland, Australia are some examples. I know it might be surprising from a US perspective, but there might be a need to change because of laws made by non-US citizens

I don’t see how you derive at that interpretation. Can you point to a court ruling that supports this? Schrems 2 alone doesn’t.

Yes, but that does not mean PII can’t be hosted in the US. It means you can’t give your users’ PII to 3rd parties without their consent, which is a good thing in my book

Let’s take Facebook as an example. I avoid them, that’s why I don’t visit their site. If I visit yours, I definitely expect you to not send data about my visits to them. That’s why GDPR requires you to ask for my consent before you do so.

Now I don’t have the same problem with Google (even though I’m not a heavy user), but the principle is the right one. Because it’s my data, what you’re allowed do with it is my decision, not yours.

Every absurd power grab in the name of privacy can be justified if you argue it harms Facebook.

That’s about as justified as me saying your opinion doesn’t count because of who your employer is.
