- EU-US data transfers rely on fragile legal frameworks like the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF) and Standard Contract Clauses (SCCs).
- The stability of these frameworks is threatened by potential US Supreme Court rulings, particularly regarding FTC independence and the Data Protection Review Court (DPRC).
- Executive Order 14.086, crucial for EU-US data transfers, is at risk of being overturned by the Trump administration.
- The TADPF and related frameworks are built on unstable legal foundations, making them vulnerable to collapse if key elements fail.
- EU entities are advised to prepare for potential disruptions in data transfers by considering European providers as alternatives.
