Oh boy… This is not good:

On Monday, the US Supreme Court decided in Trump v. Slaughter that the US Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) may not be independent anymore. Since 2000 the EU has relied on the “independent” FTC as the enforcer of EU-US deals on personal data. According to EU treaty law such oversight must be independent. In the current EU-US deal, the European Commission relies on the independent FTC 259 (!) times. Max Schrems: “Given that there are no independent authorities in the US anymore, we call on the European Commission to orderly withdraw the adequacy decision on the US.”

Way to go, #SCOTUS, you've just #fucked over the handling of personal data between the US and EU.
