Im not sure you are reading section 14 correctly. It makes reference to Privacy Act (Privacy Act of 1974) and the privacy policy of the federal agencies involved in immigration enforcement and law enforcement agencies. IE the government can freely share information between agencies with regards to non-citizens. If you look at the Privacy Act, it lists twelve cases where data is permitted to be disclosed by federal agencies, with the new order it allows all governmental data to be shared between governmental agencies. Again none of this pertains to the Civilian sector. The Privacy Shield really has nothing to do with the root issue. United States governmental agencies sharing information about non-citizens with each other. In the context of the actual document it is referencing sharing data about non-citizens who are not legal residents of the United States, who are illegally in the country.

If you mean the U.S. private sector, you're right. But otherwise, the U.S. President is allowed to take a whole lot of actions which can effectively censor non-citizens, and I've got some bad news pertaining to one in particular involving compliance with European privacy regulations which could potentially result in the deletion of records including accounts of European citizens from hosting providers such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Please see:

"Enforcing privacy policies that specifically 'exclude persons who are not United States citizens or lawful permanent residents,' while aimed at enhancing domestic immigration laws, effectively invalidates America's part of the Privacy Shield agreement, opens the current administration up to sanctions by the EU and could lead our allies across the Atlantic to suspend the agreement outright."
If Google is forced to delete all the personally identifying information of European citizens because the President ordered U.S. federal agencies to stop enforcing privacy policies, that would effectively be an act of censorship on a scale without historical precedent, would it not?
