@jasonhorowitz @docjh I am a Jewish law professor living in Barcelona this summer. Compared to the two days of the Pope's visit, the story was incredibly negative - I saw huge support & a stunning consecration of the cathedral. Better if you had covered the new anthem "Alza La Mirada."

We live in an era of "The Globalization of Criminal Evidence", https://t.co/4CHrq1aIUI. How will governments access evidence held in the cloud, while protecting privacy and civil rights? @TC_IntLaw (Christakis) explains the final EU approach, in the #eevidence regulation.

U.S. Dept of Justice finds sufficient safeguards for Americans from European intelligence surveillance. Even though DOJ documents multiple ways that EU protections are not as strict as those the US provides My initial comments here: https://t.co/yGbwnduIUm. #privacy #GDPR

Quoted in the Wash Post today on #FISA 702 reauthorization: https://t.co/WSbO6PGFw3. In our 2013 NSA Review Group report, we recommended a warrant for 702 searches of US persons. Now I have a different view - risks from the EU if the US "discriminates" against non-US persons.

Co-author Théodore Christakis provides the colorful tweet. A step-by-step analysis for why the U.S. and EU agreed to a surprising and complex approach to redress. #schremsii #privacy #privacyshield

[Theodore CHRISTAKIS @TC_IntLaw]

A 1st analysis focusing on the “Independence” & “Effectiveness” of the “Data Protection Review Court”, the redress mechanism created by the new 🇪🇺🇺🇸Data Privacy Framework as a response to #SchremsII

6/6 The new regs enable any EU person to file a complaint, without having to show prior injury. #Schrems, #GDPR,#privacy, #privacyshield.

[Peter Swire @peterswire]

5/6 There are principled reasons why this is done through executive action rather than a new statute. Literally no one has been able to propose a statute that would meet the U.S. constitutional requirement of standing, for all the EU persons eligible to file a redress complaint

4/6 EU official summary explains how new redress approach meets the CJEU’s requirements: https://t.co/q6cDqLyd5q. #Schrems, #GDPR,#privacy, #privacyshield.

[Peter Swire @peterswire]

3/6 Critics who say this is a re-run of #PrivacyShield are incorrect. The new U.S. redress system creates independent investigations, an adversary process before independent decisionmakers, and binding orders on the U.S. intelligence community.

[Peter Swire @peterswire]

2/6 Our February proposal on redress gives detailed rationale for how new Framework meets both EU and U.S. legal requirements: https://t.co/0f1RwtZkKW. #Schrems, #GDPR, #privacy.

1/6 New Biden Exec Order https://t.co/jhkkZhnjFb & DOJ regs https://t.co/r6OFllnnki announce EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, to replace #privacyshield. #Schrems, #GDPR

Indeed FPF Senior fellow @PeterSwire made this point a number of years ago at this FTC event https://t.co/vh2Dyb6RxO - discrimination laws follow, sophisticated marketing online is in scope!

How to fix #SchremsII “Redress” problem in 🇪🇺🇺🇸negotiations? Here is a novel SOLUTION 🎯 wth 3 building blocks 1) A DOJ Regulation to create an INDEPENDENT Redress Authority 2) A @POTUS EO to give it EFFECTIVE powers 3) APA for ultimate judicial review

[Theodore CHRISTAKIS @TC_IntLaw]

EU🇪🇺US🇺🇸 #SchremsII talks have reached a delicate stage. A crucial question is whether 🇺🇸Congress must enact a new statute to create Redress mechanism. Our analysis finds that a non-statutory solution could be compatible wth essentially equivalent standard

The President of Georgia Tech asked me to tape "Rebuilding the Civic Square: A Discussion on Rebuilding Democracy," distributed to GT for Inauguration Day. Topics: the rule of law, the role of platforms, and how to listen to those with different views. https://t.co/zHTLr0K5P2
