EDPB requests review of EU-US Data Privacy Framework following Trump v. Slaughter
The European Data Protection Board is questioning the stability of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that impacts the independence of regulatory agencies. The board is concerned that the ruling may undermine the FTC's ability to enforce data protection commitments.
