The US Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. Slaughter has potentially invalidated the independence of the Federal Trade Commission, a cornerstone of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This decision threatens to collapse the current legal basis for transatlantic data transfers, prompting calls from privacy advocates for the European Commission to withdraw the adequacy decision.
Background
The EU-US Data Privacy Framework allows personal data to flow freely between the regions, relying on US agencies like the FTC to enforce privacy standards independently.
