The European Commission today decided it is safe for personal data to be transferred from the European Union to US-based companies, handing a victory to firms like Facebook and Google despite protests from privacy advocates who worry about US government surveillance.

The European commission never was part of the solution but the problem. They just enjoy that the US can do the spying on EU citizens FOR them, while pretending that they wouldn’t install that kind of surveillance in Europe if they could.

If this is something you don’t want for the EU, maybe you should support NOYB
