Let's remember, for context, that the EU is saying that the US is an "unsafe" third party country. While this is certainly true under a given definition of safe/unsafe, I doubt (m)any European citizens can point to harm as a direct result of their data being subpoenaed under the US CLOUD act. I am not saying there isn't a real problem but as I mentioned in another comment, the US and EU have agreed "in principle" on a third privacy shield to satisfy concerns on both sides and we are now waiting for it to be codified and tested in courts.
- V__ 4y agoECJ has declared "Privacy shield" as well as "Safe Harbor" null and void, since those were merely agreements, which never side codified into actual law. So I don't think there will be any new court decisions regarding those. I also don't think most Europeans are really worried about US government intrusions into their privacy, thoug I don't know the legal implications the CLOUD act would have in this context. Honestly, I think anybody takes US government intrusions for granted after the Snowden leaks. It's the companies people are worried about. Facebook, Google have a scary amount of power and lack of oversight.
