The European Commission is adopting #PrivacyShield. (Safe Harbour 2.0)

It does not protect the privacy of users when data is sent to the U.S. Privacy shield rules give nowhere near the level of protection by the EU. The US now even admits that it will continue to collect personal data stemming from Europe “IN BULK”.

Blanket mass surveillance without any reasonable suspicion is contrary to the principles of European human rights.
