The US Supreme Court decided that the US Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) may not be independent anymore – with major implications for EU-US Data Transfers.

On Monday, the US Supreme Court decided in Trump v. Slaughter that the US Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) may not be independent anymore. Since 2000, the EU has relied on the “independent” FTC as the enforcer of EU-US deals on personal data. According to EU treaty law, such oversight must be independent. In the current EU-US deal, the European Commission relies on the independent FTC 259 (!) times.

      To be fair, I would love it if they fucked off to Mars.

      If they did, it sure would be a shame if their radio stopped working

        Oh, I didn’t say that they wouldn’t all board a vessel to Mars.

        None of them are stepping foot on it, though, for sure.

        It would be nice if we could deposit all of them there, for sure.
