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.

      Like seriously… We don’t have as many issues with racism against black peeps in Germany (as the US has), but that’s because very few live here at all.

      “Our” racism targets eastern Europeans and (in my region) Turkish ppl, but I guess that’s not racist because they’re close enough in skin tone? (/s obviously)
