Letter to Facebook Inc. regarding the violation of EU Privacylaw
Together with Privacy First Foundation, Bits of Freedom, the Dutch Platform for the Protection of Civil Rights and two EU-citizens, PILP wrote a letter to Facebook asking the company to stop the transfer of personal data to the US authorities. One of the incentives for this letter was the decision of the European Court of Justice made in the case Schrems v. Data Protection Commissioner. The Court ruled that the Safe Harbour-principles were not in accordance with EU Law. Unfortunately, Facebook seems to have failed to act as such too by relying on those principles. Please, read this for more information.
