> 2020 CJEU ruling hits the real world. In July 2020, the CJEU has issued its groundbreaking "Schrems II" ruling, holding that a transfer to US providers that fall under FISA 702 and EO 12.333 violate the rules on international data transfers in the GDPR. The CJEU consequently annulled the transfer deal "Privacy Shield", after annulling the previous deal "Safe Harbor" in 2015. While this sent shock waves through the tech industry, US providers and EU data exporters have largely ignored the case. Just like Microsoft, Facebook or Amazon, Google has relied on so-called "Standard Contract Clauses" to continue data transfers and calm its European business partners.

That depend on where you live. Regardless of how extreme, I trust every single politicians in the Danish parliament a lot more than both Google and Facebook.
It is about USA politicians and USA laws that allow USA to do anything with our data as if we were terrorists.
The "Privacy Shield" was established by politicians twice already and dismantled twice by EU courts.
The initiative to strike down privacy shield and enforce ban is a result of civil society.
