> Russia recently approved similar law which requires all personal data of Russian citizens to be stored in a server hosted in Russia

I wouldn't call that a similar law at all, because the spirit of it is so that the government can have access to that data…

It's similar in the sense that government dictates how foreign companies can deal with personal data of its citizens. I agree that purpose seems to be different.

Oh are European governments and intelligence agencies going to follow the GDPR as well?
