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.

    Watching The Man in the High castle hits very different now.
    People over here are seeing what is going on in the USA but
    they might still vote for Reform and then we are done. The rich will make sure that they control everything including
    every citizen.
    Palantir, Musk, Bezos,Thiel and all the other monsters will plunder
    what is left of the worlds resources and retreat to their many bunkers
    or Mars. They think AI will fix the earth and according to them millions will die in the process of them remaking the world into a Technocratic feudal system.And for that they want all the data till they know more
    about you than you do yourself.

    At least that’s what they have in their project 2025 and beyond as a plan.
    They want only the “right” people to survive. It makes horrifying reading, they think of empathy and kindness as big
    massive weakness,they want the sick,disabled ,lgbtq and others to die as thy are seen as a burden on their system. Sorry for the rant but I am old and these people scare me.
