Sounds reasonable to me. Either obey the laws of the country you are in or don't do business there. Don't tell me you can brazenly violate the law of the land becaus you also do business in another country with different laws. While operating in one country you must obey the law in that country. You can access that data from the US and you use that data within the US, and in order to do so you must agree that that data falls under US law.
If it conflicts with other laws in other countries, too bad. You shouldn't get yourself into holes like that, it isn't any country's fault.
No I am not saying the US can demand Irish data used in Ireland for Irish citizens. That has never been to the US and does not fall under US jurisdiction.
