What I admire so much about @maxschrems is that he not only gets the win, but lays out clearly what to do next.
If you process the personal data of EU citizens, then you NEED to read this:
noyb.eu/en/next-steps-…
For more detail on consequences, read @1Br0wn's excellent [Thread]: but to (crudely) summarise, the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act #FISA, which permits unwarranted surveillance of non-US citizens - what @CasparBowden called #Cloudveillance...
...means you will not be able to use US cloud providers and remain compliant with #GDPR, and (for now) UK #DPA2018.
Neatly, if your provider didn't inform you it was under #FISA, it will be liable for your costs of cancelling your SCCs & transferring data to a compliant regime.
A characteristically clear-sighted and candid analysis from @DanielSolove:
"#PrivacyShield is dead and the #StandardContractualClauses (SCC) are in a coma on life support."
This, by @Tupp_Ed, is also very good:

"There isn’t going to be a third Potemkin data deal" - let's hope he's right!
