> There’s a new EU-US data framework that’s expected to be ratified within a year which should make EU-US transfers possible again under new guidelines.
There’s already been two attempts at this, both of which were ratified, then struck down by the ECJ.
There’s already clear indications that attempt there isn’t much better than attempt one and two, and the smart money is betting on it not being ratified, or being struck down if it is.
In the meantime it’s been illegal for a years to transfer EU data to the U.S. So even if it did suddenly become legal, those laws aren’t going to retrospect, and Facebook still engaged in blatantly illegal behaviour.
