Of course they won't.
The problem happens when other countries start following the precedent and too many of them make the same ask. There are parallel processes in the UK, and at the EU level.
Oh, definitely. That's a danger even for decentralized social media, because once a legal precedent is set, going after smaller operators could become easier (especially if global leaders all decide to try).
My claim isn't that it's bulletproof, just that I don't expect them to fold over a desire to keep their market share. That's the beginning and end of it.
Everyone should always remain vigilant, especially since privacy isn't a guarantee even among previously privacy-forward countries, anymore.
