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.

Just one more reason for Europe to abandon American tech.
Yes stop buying our shit holy fuck
Enjoying my EU hosted services, and looking forward to my next-gen cloud office software from the EU, and I’m already bypassing US retail brands for most of my electronics.
There was a time that saying “buy American” wasn’t a curse or a threat.
My eu hosted services pass through us servers. Every single one is like this. Probably because your countries are spying on Americans too, and you’re all in cahoots together.
The day that the regular people of Europe and America, realize our leaders are all mutually fucking us together and hopping over to an island to fuck kids while laughing at us will be a fucking great day.
Citations needed for the first paragraph. Hard agree, for the second.
Jesus fucking Christ STOP
That would help.with so many things if it was abrupt
It’s so fucking stupid they keep saying they will abandon our tech AND YET…
Less talky more doey guys. We are all waiting!
Any day?? Year? Decade!!! Actions speak louder than words and actions prove Europe leaders want this.
No data should be exchanged with the US, unless memes taking the piss out of the US are considered data, then yes sure, lots.

Shits just getting started. This is just going to be one of many dominoes from this ruling to the ultimate demise of the USA, even if they do get rid of Trump.
This + Citizens United + President can’t be charged for official acts = game over.
The presidency is no longer trust worthy, and now every US agency is no longer trust worthy.
FDA: The drug isn’t safe
Trump: Approve it
FDA: The drug isn’t safe
Trump: You’re fired
FDA: The drug is the BEST DRUG WE’VE EVER SEEN!
Every single agency.
Welcome to the Reich. The Land of the Free is no more.
it never was… like most American things, it was always just marketing
Oh? Tell me about your country then.
There have always been issues. There was a lot of precursor to this. But there has never been anything this bad.
America was a beacon for the world, despite our violations and blemishes. Relative to the rest of history, we were leading the world ina better direction,.
Nixon was out after Watergate. You don’t have to bribe our doctors or our cops during traffic stops. While we’re having issues with LGBTQ, we were a leader in treating people with respect for a few decades. That’s our norm.
This is Idiocracy.

No you fucking weren’t, this chauvinistic bullshit is no better than MAGA fascism
The CIA planted crack in black neighborhoods, the fbi killed all the civil rights leaders, our government injected black men with syphillis to see what happens,the end of Jim Crow just morphed into mass incarceration for black Americans, we committed a genocide on Native Americans, we have pedophiles running our government, we’ve destabilized hundreds of governments to plunder assets ……I could go on and on we’ve always been a fascist nation. For a moment I thought we might be improving but nope all hope is lost
Sounds like the UK.
Almost like both nations are colonial capitalist blights on the human species or something!
and South america has mostly dictatorships thanks to the CIA.
I imagine if you compile a list of the worst any country has done that it’d look a lot like this.
That doesn’t excuse anything, but all those things don’t add up to Nazi Germany or 2026 Israel.
We’re working on showing you what fascism really is.
I imagine
Yeah of course you do; because you start from a position of American exceptionalism and then just imagine backwards.
Oh yeah? What’s your beacon of a country? England? France? China? Russia?
The fact is we were generally dragging the world (in hand with Europe) towards better ideals, like equal rights for all, democracy, and eliminating low level corruption.
It wasn’t always the case, and was certainly in fits and starts. But in our absence I don’t see China or India having that generally positive influence on the world.
Yes, there’s room for improvement. But if we’re at a C while most other countries are content with an F, well…
USAID has done a lot of good around the world.
Jesus, Americans really are the most propagandized people on earth
We are paying for the genocide in Israel. We are combining our military with the IDF. We are occupied by Israel. We are Israel
The fuck we are
America was a beacon for the world
Yeah. For a brief moment in the 19th century maybe.
While we’re having issues with LGBTQ, we were a leader in treating people with respect for a few decades. That’s our norm.
The USA has been the only rich country with unsolved racism for decades. Is that treating people with respect?
Hilarious. Should we tell Canada, Australia, China, and Germany they’re not rich?
There have always been issues.
That is a crazy way to diminish the reality that this nation only exists because of a holocaust and only became an economic powerhouse because of slavery.
America has never been worth a god damn thing. Some Americans are fine people, but the system, the nation? Designed to be diseased.
Snap out of your American exceptionalism fever-dream and step into the real world, please.
This may delay the launch of windows 12 by a few days, possibly a week. But everyone should remain calm, nothing will fundamentally change.
Wow, a news site that actually links primary sources like the SCOTUS decision. 10/10 Absolute amaze!
Watching The Man in the High castle hits very different now.
People over here are seeing what is going on in the USA but
they might still vote for Reform and then we are done. The rich will make sure that they control everything including
every citizen.
Palantir, Musk, Bezos,Thiel and all the other monsters will plunder
what is left of the worlds resources and retreat to their many bunkers
or Mars. They think AI will fix the earth and according to them millions will die in the process of them remaking the world into a Technocratic feudal system.And for that they want all the data till they know more
about you than you do yourself.At least that’s what they have in their project 2025 and beyond as a plan.
They want only the “right” people to survive. It makes horrifying reading, they think of empathy and kindness as big
massive weakness,they want the sick,disabled ,lgbtq and others to die as thy are seen as a burden on their system. Sorry for the rant but I am old and these people scare me.If it’s any comfort, none of them are getting to Mars.
To be fair, I would love it if they fucked off to Mars.
If they did, it sure would be a shame if their radio stopped working
Whats the worst thing pioneers could find on Mars? Microslop Teams!
Do you have any further reading material? It feels like we haven’t gotten too far past the point of no return but I suppose once you pass that point, by definition you can’t return. Are we really that close to Snowcrash?

Look up Curtis Yarvin and Dark Enlightenment. It’s why fElon wore a dark MAGA hat.
This is a good explanation of project 2025. It is a roadmap to the extreme right.
Women will lose their right to vote,getting contraceptives will be hard to come
by as they want women,white women to have as many babies as possible.
They want to institutionalize all homeless,disabled and mentally ill.Withing their circles the talk of mercy killings of these people. There is so much more craziness they want to enact and people need to organize and fight back. https://nwlc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Project-2025-Full-Report.pdf
Pretty sure it’ll make no difference. The agreements were already constantly being broken, and the EU only occassionally bothered doing anything about it. With the current European Comission being made up entirely of American assets, I suspect we’ll see no action on this whatsoever.
The title is wrong. SCOTUS didn’t make anything happen … the question is what EU regulators will do, and my guess is they won’t do a damn thing. But you never know!
One big lie has been debunked.
Whether or not that means there will be more truth, well, time will tell.
There will never be more truth while these crazy idiots are in charge. Take the reflecting pool as example, everyone saw it being painted and they were proudly yammering about it being painted. The paint failed because they’re morons and suddenly it was terrorists cutting a 300 foot liner with a box cutter.
