| Facebook blow to Europe declares null sending personal data to the US. |
The European Court of Justice has today made a historic decision invalidating agreement over fifteen years between the US and Europe. This agreement, known as 'Safe Harbour', allowing multinationals such as Facebook, Google, Amazon or Twitter servers to transfer their personal data US users located in Europe. Today, the European Court of Justice has annulled on the grounds that the data protection laws across the pond are not sufficiently robust. A major blow to US Internet firms.
Today's decision of the European Court of Justice is not binding and does not automatically prohibits companies from transferring user data from Europe to the US, but leaving the way open for member countries of the EU to decide whether the agreement is illegal or not at all country. With the decision of the European Court in hand, it is very unlikely that any member country today contradicts dictated. Now it is no longer a question of whether this data transfer agreement is null or not, it's just a matter of time whether declared invalid nationally across Europe, making the ban 100%.
More than 4,500 US companies affected.
Calculated according to the WSJ, the measure could affect more than 4,500 US companies operating in Europe and its users transfer data from one location to another. The case reached the Court of Justice from the Irish High Court after rejecting the data protection agency in that country demand Maximillian Facebook Schrems Austrian citizen. This person complained to the Irish authorities consider illegal data that Facebook transfieriera data from its subsidiary located in Ireland to USA. Following revelations made by Edward Snowden about NSA spying on US citizens, Schrems argued that the data protection law in the country was insufficient.
The case went to the European Court of Justice following a complaint to Facebook by the Austrian citizen Maximillian Schrems
Today the European Court of Justice has ruled in favor. The agency says in a statement that "access to data services enjoyed by US ingeligencia constitutes an interference with the right to respect for private life and the right to protection of personal data." Being a European Court decision on an issue Justitica sent by the Irish High Court, the country will now have to decide, but almost certainly will do so in the same direction.
The result? Soon the American internet companies based in Ireland may not transfer your user data in Europe to the US. They will have to keep within the European Union itself. The question now is what will the other member countries that there is now so complete as that created today by the European Court of Justice legal precedent. What is clear is that Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon is now facing a serious problem in your business to manipulate our data.
