If U.S. privacy negotiations with Europe fail, it’s a recipe for chaos
The European Union and the United States are about to give us some idea of how their negotiations over the Safe Harbor dispute are going. The European Court of Justice ruled that the Safe Harbor arrangement — a critical bridge for e-commerce firms and other businesses that need to move personal information across the Atlantic — was invalid, because it did not protect European citizens against U.S. surveillance. Companies like Facebook and Google are waiting with some trepidation to find out, since a collapse of negotiations might have very serious implications for their business model.

Opinion: Forget about Safe Harbor. Modernize global privacy law instead
There's a widening transatlantic divide regarding privacy rights that needs to be bridged – and soon.

Here’s how Washington weaponized America’s IT companies and why it backfired

The court’s ruling was largely motivated by the threat that U.S. surveillance undermined the privacy rights of European citizens.

Seeking a Safe Harbor in a Widening Sea
In a move that could cost the EU up to 1.3 percent of its gross domestic product, according to the American Chamber of Commerce to the European Union, on Oct. 6 the European Court of Justice invalidated the 15-year old EU-US Safe Harbor Agreement in Schrems v. Data Protection Commissioner, causing some consternation among the more than 5,000 European and U.S. firms that rely on the Agreement to transfer EU data to U.S. servers.

Here’s how the Facebook case has just transformed the surveillance debate
The European Court of Justice, Europe’s highest court, has just shot down the Safe Harbor, an arrangement between the European Union and the United States allowing for the transfer of personal data, in a case against Facebook. This has the potential to transform arguments between the E.U. and United States over privacy and surveillance. The decision is complex, and lawyers will be arguing over its more subtle implications for years. Read more about Here’s how the Facebook case has just transformed the surveillance debate
Facebook is at the center of a huge privacy controversy. For once, it isn’t Facebook’s fault.
The Advocate-General of the European Court of Justice, the European Union’s closest equivalent to the U.S. Supreme Court, has just made a key finding in a court case involving Facebook. If the court follows his recommendation – which it does 80 percent of the time – either the U.S. will have to change its laws on surveillance or companies like Facebook and Google will find their European business models undermined.
