( The following article is a update on Privacy Shield)
Shield was published last week with the headline, "EU-US Privacy Shield in big trouble, may not pass muster..." British lawyer David Flint commented, "Of course it won't pass muster; it's a political expedient and doesn't address any of the issues of the CJEU decision in Schrems." Both were right.
Privacy Shield is the proposed replacement for the US/EU Safe Harbor agreement struck down as unconstitutional by the European Court of Justice last year.
