The 14 eyes alliance and legislation in countries like France make the GPRD seem more like protectionist laws that favor local corporations instead of actually protecting the privacy of everyday citizens.

That's because GDPR explicitly isn't meant to be a law that protects against governments but against private entities. There's nothing "protectionist" about that.

If anything local corporations are far more at risk of enforcement so your comment makes not sense. Privacy of everyday citizens has measurably improved, both from the perspective of an EU data subject (myself) and someone who professionally looks into the kitchen of many EU companies that process data (myself).
