This would only apply to online services with > 100 million active users. And is it safe to assume that means 100 million Americans? Not sure how we'd apply to the law to users outside the US.

How many online services have that many MAUs outside Facebook and Google? Even Twitter doesn't have that many in the US [1]. Seems laser targeted at Facebook, but the abuses come from many many more companies.

I don't know. Facebook already has everybody's data. Unless this bill will retroactively force them to delete it unless users explicitly consent to letting them keep it, it will restring new growing companies more.
