Yikes.

“In the adequacy decision, the European Commission estimated that the U.S. ensures a level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to U.S companies under the new framework that is essentially equivalent to the level of protection within the European Union.”

Does the EU disregard the Snowden revelations?

They do this for the upteemth time now. And it has always be cashiered by the courts lateron.

Data simply is not safe in the US.

Hardly an expert, but isn't these rules basically the same as in privacy shield?

AFAIK the US are not going to change anything about FISA 702 and with this agreement in place it sounds like business as usual for the NSA.

I wasn’t aware of the “Privacy Shield”, but the article mentions that:

“In the Schrems II judgement, the CJEU raised several points regarding the U.S. intelligence agencies’ access to EU data. The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework tackles them and includes significant improvements compared to the mechanism having existed under the Privacy Shield.”

Found this to help me catch up on this.
