Why then is the "Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework" (TADPF) still in place when
Trump fired all employees of the "Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board" (PCLOB) in January 2025?

@EUCommission Why is it not yet illegal to send data from Europe to the USA when the USA doesn't have anything remotely equivalent to European regulations in place to protect the data of Europeans?

Why did the EU's General Court dismiss on September 3, 2025 the arguments by French MP Philippe Latombe that the TADPF isn't secure?

Yesterday the US Supreme Court ruled that the US Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") may not be independent anymore. But being independent is the entire basis for (and only reason) why Europeans are allowed to send data from the EU to the USA.

Without this basis, you aren't allowed to use Google Analytics, to give perhaps the most concrete example for why this is a big deal.

> noyb has sent a formal letter to the European Commission today, asking the Commission to take the appropriate steps to repeal the EU-US data deal in an orderly way.
> noyb will also file a lawsuit in the coming weeks, aiming to allow the CJEU to annul the current deal. However, such a lawsuit typically takes 2-3 years until a final decision is reached.

If your employer uses Google Analytics, they better start migrating to a self-hosted solution like Matomo or Plausible.
