“Ursula von der Leyen and Joe Biden stepped in to push through a political deal for data transfers that will likely be tested in court.“
Yet amid efforts to show renewed transatlantic unity following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, both von der Leyen and Biden cast those doubts aside. They framed Friday’s announcement as a necessary balance between people’s right to privacy and legitimate national security concerns.
Though their opinion is not binding, it could well force Brussels and Washington officials back to the negotiating table. EU national capitals will also get a say, and could veto any deal if they see cause for concern — tho that outcome is unlikely.
Ursula is worst thing ever to happen to the EU
Europe is completely open to Russian or American exploitation. Though the later is preferable in my opinion, if we want to stop being pawns in other’s hands we really ought to start taking matters into our own hands.
ECJ is going to have a word here, sooner or latter. Schrems III incoming.
LNG for data. Seems US got the better side of the deal.
I wish we were in the world where the deal swung the other way and it actually protected American’s data more like it’s protected in Europe
“Europe’s top judges, based in Luxembourg, have already twice ruled the U.S. did not offer EU citizens sufficient protections when their data was shipped across the Atlantic. It will now be down to Biden — most likely via a new administrative body created within the U.S. Department of Justice, to oversee surveillance on Europeans — to prove that any proposed solution will stand the test of time.”
So the US agreed to give greater data protection on their end so the EU courts are satisfied that US courts will enforce data protection. Seems reasonable if the US can provide the courts with verifiable changes that the court thinks is sufficient
