> You would already not be spying on them.

Can you point me to the part of the ban that says it's about protecting users from "spying in general" and not "protecting users from spying by US companies instead of EU companies that EU member states can obtain PII from at any time"?

I want to quantify this quote. Each EU country can spy on its citizens to similar extent as 3 letter agencies from the US, but in a less analytical/big meta data way (part of it being the US brain draining EU countries for those working in tech).

However, if EU country A wants to have access to its citizens user date on website X located in EU country B, is not an easy process; involving a strict judicial system between those countries.

I think your logic may be a bit muddled, or I misunderstand your question (but, if I take it literally, my answer would be “no”.)

Not spying ⇒ not using GA ⇒ this ruling moot.
