“EU-US Privacy Shield must be sent back to negotiators”

A group of leading digital rights organisations on both sides of the Atlantic has called for the Privacy Shield arrangement between the EU and US to be sent back to the negotiators. In a letter to senior EU officials, the group says that without “substantial reforms” to ensure protection for fundamental rights of individuals, the Privacy Shield will “put users at risk, undermine trust in the digital economy, and perpetuate the human rights violations that are already occurring as a result of surveillance programs and other activities.”
