Data localization a la Europea 🇪🇺. Europe's data-obsessed internal market commissioner @ThierryBreton says data should be stored in Europe. "China does it, Russia does it. We'll do it too." Is he feeling emboldened by #SchremsII? 1/3
We've already written about how companies have done a 180 following Schrems II, and are now considering limiting the flow of data out of the bloc. 2/3 politico.eu/article/privac…
And it's been clear for a while that Thierry Breton and other EU policymakers are keen for the continent to keep hold of more of its data. 3/3

Breaking: In decisions just out, Meta is not only on the hook for privacy fines totaling nearly €400 million, but it must also — quickly — find a new legal basis for its sprawling targeted advertising empire. 🧵

pro.politico.eu/news/158293
The decisions rebuke Meta’s claim that it could hoover up users’ data as part of a contract to provide them with personalized adverts, and leave the tech giant scratching around for another legal route to target people with advertising.
As well as potentially putting a bomb under the internet giant's business model, the cases revealed deep fissures between Europe’s data protection authorities, with the Irish initially endorsing Meta's argument before being overruled by the EU data protection body the EDPB.

Docs unearthed by @NOYBeu show that the Irish data regulator lobbied to get EU guidelines to allow social networks to bypass GDPR consent requirements to use people's data to target advertising.🧵

pro.politico.eu/news/143625
The documents show that the Irish regulator argued that companies could use data to fulfil a contract with users to provide a personalized ad-funded platform, rather than relying on consent.
The Irish view was roundly rejected by other EU data protection regulators, with one saying that it "undermines the system and spirit of the GDPR," according to the documents.

First up, Facebook. it argues that single point of contact is a "vital aspect" of the regulation, and that in GDPR do not apply. "The distinction that the Belgian DPA makes between administrative and legal proceeding is artificial."
Facebook counsel says any legal action brought by the regulator would have to be preceded by administrative proceedings. Says Belgian DPA's argument risk causing a "huge rise" in number of court proceedings a "judicial fragmentation" — which GDPR was supposed to end

Jim Sullivan from US dep. of commerce: "In months since [Schrems II] decision, a lack of clear guidance from EDPB, inconsistent approaches of data protection authorities, and calls for data localisation and sovereignty from within Commission have added to the uncertainty." Ouch.
Says "premature" to give timeline for new Privacy Shield, but much more limited set of issues (gov. surveillance, not commercial aspects) to negotiate than when Safe Harbor struck down
EDPB chair Andrea Jelinek hopes that extra guidance on Schrems II ready within 2 months.
