The European Commission recently adopted a new agreement, enabling companies to resume transatlantic user data transfers without the need for special safety safeguards. This is the third attempt to make such data transfers GDPR-compliant. Despite official claims of legal soundness, privacy advocates maintain that the agreement violates European law. Full story here.
These advocates, including privacy activist Max Schrems, are planning to challenge the new agreement in the European Court of Justice. According to Schrems, the new framework fails to protect EU citizens and does not adequately address concerns previously raised by the Court.
