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. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2989718/cloud-computing/panic-in-the-cloud-as-europe-kills-safe-harbor-maxschrems-cheers.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/2989718/cloud-computing/panic-in-the-cloud-as-europe-kills-safe-harbor-maxschrems-cheers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
