The joke of a "privacy framework" has now a excuse less.

Just one more reason for Europe to abandon American tech.

Watching The Man in the High castle hits very different now.
People over here are seeing what is going on in the USA but
they might still vote for Reform and then we are done. The rich will make sure that they control everything including
every citizen.
Palantir, Musk, Bezos,Thiel and all the other monsters will plunder
what is left of the worlds resources and retreat to their many bunkers
or Mars. They think AI will fix the earth and according to them millions will die in the process of them remaking the world into a Technocratic feudal system.And for that they want all the data till they know more
about you than you do yourself.

At least that's what they have in their project 2025 and beyond as a plan.
They want only the "right" people to survive. It makes horrifying reading, they think of empathy and kindness as big
massive weakness,they want the sick,disabled ,lgbtq and others to die as thy are seen as a burden on their system. Sorry for the rant but I am old and these people scare me.

Shits just getting started. This is just going to be one of many dominoes from this ruling to the ultimate demise of the USA, even if they do get rid of Trump.

This + Citizens United + President can't be charged for official acts = game over.

The presidency is no longer trust worthy, and now every US agency is no longer trust worthy.

FDA: The drug isn't safe

Trump: Approve it

FDA: The drug isn't safe

Trump: You're fired

FDA: The drug is the BEST DRUG WE'VE EVER SEEN!

Every single agency.

Welcome to the Reich. The Land of the Free is no more.

With the CLOUD, FISA and PATRIOCT acts, any privacy was already inexistant on USA soil, so at least if the commission can pull its head out of its ass, it coald be better.

Wow, a news site that actually links primary sources like the SCOTUS decision. 10/10 Absolute amaze!

trump wants palantir to handle all the data, so they cant profile "dissidents against right wing governments"

Pretty sure it'll make no difference. The agreements were already constantly being broken, and the EU only occassionally bothered doing anything about it. With the current European Comission being made up entirely of American assets, I suspect we'll see no action on this whatsoever.

Schrems III - With a Vengeance.

Not sure whether this is an oversight or an intentional breach of the treaty. Hard to tell when one side acts in bad faith.

I'm not sure. Technically, yes, but there have been a number of EU treaties like that before that got all chopped by the courts, and the EU just went and found other lame excuses to try the same shit again.

So, theoretically, the EU has to rip that treaty to shreds, and have no real chance to get another attempt because all legal pathways have now been burned.

This may delay the launch of windows 12 by a few days, possibly a week. But everyone should remain calm, nothing will fundamentally change.

Please stop calling seflhosting "digital sovereignty". It's just a marketing buzzword, but basically there is nothing there except "I will host it myself".

I have said repeatedly that that agreement was worthless and probably illegal anyway, because it's based on US agencies respecting personal data, and USA has demonstrated multiple times that their agencies have very little respect for personal data.

Therefore in principle it is illegal for any public institution in EU to store any personal data on any American owned server or cloud service.

This agreement between EU and USA was merely a play to the gallery, to avoid a major political trade crisis between EU and USA.
USA can still legally break all the rules by just saying the word terrorism. But they have many other ways they circumvent the regulation, for instance simply buying the information they need from scumbag companies that specialize in selling personal information, without needing a permission from a judge.

Actually surprised it has taken this long to realise the usa agencies cannot be relied on any more for indet.
