this places the Commission’s stance in direct contradiction with EU law, which generally prohibits the use of citizens’ data in the way the US wants.

So, there is nothing to worry about. They can't get against EU law until they change it.

Abiding to the law or moving to change it is so last century. You simply ignore it, face no consequences and then look confused that people lose trust in politics and democracy.

Not really in the EU where rule of law is upheld. This would be struck down within 10 minutes by the ECJ.

If they try, NOYB will file a suit immediately. Get ready for shrems III, IV and V: Electric Boogaloo

Schrems III is already on the way btw.

However, given that the US still exercises massive pressure on the EU to keep personal data flowing, 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.

Join Canada in the fight. Trump always chickens out, when his empty threats don't work.

Well, if I understand correct, this is only about personal data of people traveling to the Unreliable States of Assholes. Maybe these people just deserve it..
