Little will happen until and unless the European Data Protection Authorities begin to enforce Schrems II. One year after the so-called Schrems II decision was made by the European Court of Justice, little has changed.
Participants should note that privacy activist Max Schrems is watching; and he is not known for giving up where he has the law on his side.
In a statement published Jul 16, 2021 on the My Privacy is None of Your Business website, Schrems bemoans the lack of progress.
Schrems II is the outcome of the European Court's ruling over a case involving Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner, Facebook, and Max Schrems.
Schrems II also casts doubt on the validity of Standard Contractual Clauses as used by Facebook and others.
Schrems has proven himself to be an essentially reasonable, but patient and persistent privacy activist.
