#EUGeneralCourt dismisses the action seeking annulment of the new framework for transferring #PersonalData between the #EU and the #US 👉 https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/Jo2_7052/

IANAL but clearly something's off with today's #ECJ decision 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 confirming the legality of the #EU-#US data transfer agreement #DPF. Based on the PR:

1. The Court explicitly based its judgement on an outdated reality: that of 2023 (the moment of complaint), when the US hadn't abolished the Rule of Law quite yet.

2. The Court therefore is able to put blind trust into a #DPRC that is subordinate to a complete nutcase of a Trumpist Attorney-General who disregards the #RuleOfLaw and #HumanRights.

@ilumium That was my thinking. I mean, the words “at the time of the adoption of the contested decision” and the observation that the Commission is required to “monitor continuously the application of the legal framework” is a pretty big hint “mit dem Zaunpfahl”, that the Commission should do just that. But given how politicised the Commission has historically been in this regard, there’s also an overwhelming likelihood that it won’t go there unless forced to do so by the Court.
@ilumium So, at the very least, this will buy US Big Tech (and a by now fascist US government) few more years of nearly uninhibited access to our data, while a new legal challenge is mounted. I feel for everyone in EU civil society who is now faced with doing that again. This really is the stupidest timeline.
