The different approaches to digital regulation have long been contentious between the EU and the US. Under the Trump administration, tensions have further increased. Issues include US surveillance laws, the fear over digital shutdowns, the different views on privacy rights or freedom of speech. European players increasingly seek “digital sovereignty” from the US.
Max has brought two EU-US deals before the European Court of Justice, who declared them void in 2015 and 2020. He will explain how current EU-US digital deals could also collapse in light of shifts in US law and practices and strict requirements of EU fundamental rights
Max Schrems is an Austrian lawyer, privacy advocate and chair of noyb.eu. He is best known for his legal battles against tech giants and for getting two major international data transfer agreements between the European Union and the United States invalidated before the European Court of Justice.
