The Supreme Court’s decision puts the EU-US data transfer regime in peril. That regime rests on the assumption that the Federal Trade Commission supervises the handling of European personal data in the United States independently. After Trump v Slaughter, that assumption of independence no longer holds. While there are ways to fix this, the odds seem low.
