Privacy Advocates Say New US-EU Data Framework Fails to Address Concerns
Privacy Advocates Say , New US-EU Data Framework , Fails to Address Concerns.
On July 10, the European Union signed a new agreement
over data privacy and how users' personal information
is transferred from the EU to the United States.
NBC reports that the new EU- U.S. Data Privacy
Framework is aimed at easing concerns over
electronic spying by American intelligence organizations.
According to the EU's executive commission,
the new framework contains an adequate
level of protection for users' private data.
NBC reports that the framework is comparable to the bloc's
data protection standards, which allows information to be
transferred between the EU and U.S. without extra security.
In October, U.S. President Joe Biden signed off on an executive order
to implement the framework based on a preliminary agreement
with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Personal data can now flow freely
and safely from the European Economic
Area to the United States without any
further conditions or authorizations, Didier Reynders, E.U.
Justice Commissioner, via NBC.
NBC reports that the EU and the U.S. have long
clashed over lax data privacy laws in the U.S.
According to Max Schrems,
an EU privacy advocate, the new framework
fails to resolve critical privacy issues.
