I've been speaking to many 🇺🇸 and 🇪🇺 companies lately and one thing is clear: #PrivacyShield plays a critical role in transatlantic data flows.

Is the EU, which is a group of democracies founded on multiculturalism and the rule of law, fine with siding with a country that makes empty promises, does not respect human rights, lacks transparency, and is a dictatorship? https://t.co/c26KgP4ivJ — PolitiTweet.org
