    This doesn’t make sense to me given it sounds like there was a pending case with facebook about privacy concerns. Someone has to bring that up in protest…

      It seems to mean that companies can get around all your privacy protections, such as GDPR, simply by hosting their servers in the USA. Then they can mine your data all they like and you have no recourse. I guess the right people were paid/threatened, because this undermines a lot of the EU’s work on data protection over the past several years.

        either that or this was the playbook from the beginning for more political theater. Probably got some nice votes and exposure to the people “fighting” it.

      As a EU (plus UK) citizen, you have a bunch of pretty neat rights over your data due to GDPR, and unlike most other laws, violating GDPR can really hurt the perpetrator (since they get fined as % of revenue, not % of profit)

      GDPR also allows the transfer of data to other countries, but only if the receiving country has privacy protection laws equivalent to GDPR, which excludes pretty much anywhere outside the EU/Eurozone

      So, they basically get to ignore GDPR altogether, with no consequences, if this isn’t shut down by the EU right fucking now

      The results include, but are not limited to:

      -Storing cookies in your computer without your explicit consent (user tracking)

      -Targetted ads that you can’t opt out of

      -Foreign actors having access to your data

      -No way to request the deletion of your data, alongside the erosion of most rights about them

      -probably many more

    Don’t be so negative, it is not a full loss as you all say.

    The European Court of Justice already killed the previous 2 adequacy decisions in the Schrems cases, and it may happen in few years from now again.

    Apart from that, though the US are clearly not adequate for data protection following GDPR standards, they have somehow to comply with GDPR. Businesses in the US are now applying 2-standards to EU citizens and the rest of the world, in order to comply with our data protection framework.

    Until yesterday, all companies and public organisations using US services were not compliant with the law, because there was no legal basis available for data transfers to the US. Nevertheless we were all using their services. It’s best to have in place an adequacy decision which is not perfect (and probably not compliant) than nothing and living in a far west.

    that the United States ensures an adequate level of protection—comparable to that of the European Union

    I guess this makes sense, with the new French spying measures, they’re now basically the same

    It’s apparently not much different than the last two tries. Expect a cancelation or revokation.

    The US did not change that only US citizens have data/privacy rights. That can’t confirm to EU rights.
