Did you miss the part about sending user data internationally

  I think you may have missed this part? > Data adequacy in this sense means an agreement that the protections in place are similar in two countries, with the idea of ensuring that personal information remains safe. It is a key part of EU regulations and was a minor sticking point in the Brexit negotiations.

  As opposed to the EU stance, where sharing personal data with US organisations has repeatedly been found in court to violate the data protection rules? That mostly seems to be because US law grants its government security agencies much the same intrusive powers to examine data as most EU governments grant theirs and EU law explicitly allows for in the latter case. There are reasonable discussions to be had about the necessity for such measures and the safeguards and transparency requirements that are appropriate if they are used, but objecting to international data transfers on this basis, as EU courts have repeatedly done, seems a bit hypocritical.
