This has been inevitable for years.

The fact that 'productive folks' have been engaged in a chicken race with the regulators since GDPR came along in 2016 is entirely on them.

The second shoe dropped with Schrems II in 2020, and the race to find plausible technicalities to keep doing the same thing continued. Still no real attempt at fixing the problems.

If they had followed the spirit of the law rather than trying to get away with dubious technicalities, there would be no mad scramble to fix things now when it turned out those technicalities were in fact hopeful thinking at best.
