Privacy's Broken Shield: What US surveillance means to our rights, our businesses, and our allies
Channel: Demand Progress
Date: 2022-01-24

Join us for a Zoom panel on Monday, Jan 24, at 12:00 pm, hosted by the Fourth Amendment Advisory Committee and Restore the Fourth. This panel will discuss the controversial foreign intelligence surveillance law known as Section 702, how such surveillance is affecting businesses with users in the European Union, and the recent decision striking down the data transfer agreement known as Privacy Shield. As you may know, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) specifically cited Section 702, as well as Executive Order 12333, when concluding in Schrems II that US intelligence surveillance is inadequately restrained. Section 702, meanwhile, is slated to sunset in 2023.
