... transfer and monetize data from millions of European users. ...it violates the privacy rights of Europeans by exposing them to U.S. government surveillance.

The EU was unable to earn any money on the monetization of the EU User Data. The "U.S. government surveillance" aspect is just thrown in to muddy the water - especially since the EU does as much, if not more, surveillance of it's people than we do.

This is all about the money.
