    Facebook (and the complicit Irish Data Protection Comission) thought so too, an were rekt.

    The case invalidated 2 seperate “safe harbor” agreements between the EU and the USA, making ANY data transfer of EU customers private data to the USA illegal without explicit consent. It was literally pandemonium in the IT sector for a few months, everyone was running stuff in US clouds and panicking.

    This is what makes the EU high court (ECJ/EuGh) special: noone can pressure them politically. They couldn’t care less what anyone but EU law says.

    And that was “just” GDPR, now they have way more EU laws (DMA, DSA) they can throw at FAANG.
