I remember reading the Schrems cases many years ago. In light of the annulments in Schrems I and Schrems II, do you think this adequacy decision will survive long term, or should we prepare for another cycle of legal uncertainty over data transfers? This is so frustrating.
I think the adequacy decision will probably stand for longer than its predecessors, because the court has clearly recognised the new safeguards introduced in the US. Yet, history teaches us that no framework is beyond challenge. I anticipate that civil society actors and privacy advocates will almost certainly test the decision again.
Wonderful and informative article.👏👍
Keep writing and sharing
Thanks for the feedback Ved.

That’s a genuine observation. Reforms are expected in the near future.
