I'm curious if we're going to see a rapid decline of the cross-borders internet. I don't know if there's a European substitute for a lot of this stuff yet, but I imagine any leverage these companies had with try to attack European social media regulation are gone. Though, I have to say, if on the total end of cross-borders; I won't be sad if it's the end of corporate social media and the like.
I think this has already been happening. I've thought about this for years since living in China where they from the earliest days had conceived of their internet as "China's Internet".
The next piece that concerned me was GDPR which required EU citizens data to be processed in the EU. This is similar to laws in China.
The US has also brought up various bills similar to this, and I wouldn't be surprised if in the future "citizen data" is supposedly not to leave a specific country.
This of course benefits huge corporations who can handle this infrastructure but is quite difficult for smaller companies.

X just has to comply with European laws like everybody else.

That's wrong. It can be processed outside the EU, provided the country has laws providing adequate protections comparable (or better) than the GDPR.
