Panic in the cloud, as Europe kills Safe Harbor (@maxschrems cheers)

Computerworld: It's causing panic in the Legal departments of companies that store European citizens' data (e.g., #Facebook). And it potentially opens the floodgates for a metric ton of privacy lawsuits across the member states of the European Union (EU).

 

In summary: the #EuropeanCourtofJustice (ECJ) ruled that the self-certified protections promised by Safe Harbor weren't worthy of Europe's ideal of privacy "as a human right." So they've kicked the whole caboodle back to the various information commissioners of the 28 member states.

 

What a mess.

 

In #ITBW, bloggers break out the popcorn.
