The judgment does not prevent you from storing personal data in the US per se. It only nullifies the blank check of the safe harbor provision. As far as I can tell, there's nothing preventing Facebook from obtaining consent from you using Model Contract Clauses or Binding Corporate Rules, for example. This is already normal for companies from countries that do not enjoy the benefits of a safe harbor provision, after all.
- weddpros 11y agoIf it's just a problem with Facebook's contract, all is well. But the article says "Facebook and Twitter [...] could be forced to host European user data in Europe". That's way more agressive than just a contract change and poses a threat of technical blocking problems.
- rbehrends 11y agoI didn't say that it's just a problem with Facebook's contract. Model Contract Clauses and Binding Corporate Rules are pretty restrictive, and Facebook may not like them and prefer to instead separate their data. But neither does it mean that they cannot do it.
