That’s such a joke. What protections? The only protections I see are in a handful of states like California along with federal regulation for healthcare and payment data.
I wish the EU had applied more pressure to US lawmakers to come up with a national data privacy law similar to GDPR and CCPA.
All of that said, this agreement was inevitable. If data can’t be transferred between the EU and US, I don’t think it’s hyperbole to call that situation an economic disaster. The US and EU have too much commercial intermingling to have the EU actually cut off data movement to US data centers.

The US and EU have too much commercial intermingling to have the EU actually cut off data movement to US data centers. It hasn't been an economic disaster so far, why would it be now? And it is not that they will seal off datacenters. It just makes US companies liable for handling EU-user data in EU-jurisdiction. If they are caught red-handed exporting data to US, fines will be on the way. The only beneficiaries from this are FANG (lower costs) and 3-letter US agencies (they info they need at the reach of their hand).
