"Wir können doch nicht die Wirtschaft kaputtmachen, was stellt ihr euch vor!"

Kontext: die lange Duldung der Datentransfers in die USA trotz Schrems-Urteil (noybeu@mastodon.social).

Stefan Brink: "Ich hab auch nichts davon gehört, das da jemals Bußgelder verhängt worden wären oder das Anordnungen getroffen worden wären. Das wäre ja das Plausibelste erst mal. Dass eine Datenschutzaufsichtsbehörde in Deutschland oder Europa eine Anordnung trifft […], also einen Verwaltungsakt erlässt, in dem steht drin: 'Hör auf Daten in die USA zu schicken'. Das habe ich aber nicht gesehen."

Es ist noch in Kraft, aber die Entwicklungen werden ständig überprüft, antwortete die Europäische Kommission gestern auf eine Parlamentsfrage vom Februar.

#PCLOB is also instrumental in implementing an agreement between the U.S. and European Union that allows businesses to transfer Europeans' data to the United States.”

The White House has requested that the three Democratic members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) resign by end of day Thursday or face termination, a source close to the agency confirmed.

Axios · White House asks key government privacy watchdogs to resignBy Sam Sabin

"Since the Snowden disclosures we know that the US engages in mass surveillance of EU users by scooping up personal data from US Big Tech. The "Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board" (PCLOB) is the key US oversight authority for these laws. The New York Times now reports, that Democratic Members of the (officially "independent") PCLOB, have received letters, demanding them to resign by Friday night. This would bring the number of appointed Members below the threshold to have PCLOB operate and question the independence of all other executive redress bodies in the US.

The European Union has relied on these US boards and tribunals to find that the US provides "adequate" protection of personal data. Relying on PCLOB and other mechanisms, the European Commission allows European personal data to flow freely to the US in the so-called "Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework" (TADPF). Thousands of EU businesses, government agencies or schools rely on these provisions. Without TADPF, they would need to stop using US Cloud Providers like Apple, Google, Microsoft or Amazon instantly."
