NEW: Meta has been hit with a colossal $1.3 billion fine for sending data about hundreds of millions of Europeans to the United States. The decision will put pressure on US and European negotiators to finalize a long-awaited new data-sharing agreement.
In Meta’s response to the GDPR decision, Clegg referenced the new international agreement and said that if it comes into force before the Irish deadlines, “our services can continue as they do today without any disruption or impact on users.”
The executive order would, among other things, create a Data Protection Review Court within the US Department of Justice that allows Europeans to challenge how American intelligence agencies use their data. Gloria González Fuster, a professor at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, says there are “multiple tensions” between the proposed plans.
Since two previous data-sharing agreements have been struck down by Europe’s courts, it is likely that the new agreement, which could come into force before Meta has to deal with Ireland’s orders, may be challenged. “The framework from the get-go is an improvement from the two previous, but we don't think it gets us to a point where it would stand a legal challenge in the court,” Masse says.
Schrems, who made the original complaint against Meta and was responsible for the cases that destroyed the previous US–EU data-sharing agreements, believes there’s a 10 percent chance Europe’s courts will find the new agreement to be lawful. “The simplest fix,” Schrems said, “would be reasonable limitations in US surveillance law.”
