Uncertainty prevailed following the ruling of the CJEU on July 16 2020, in case C-311/18 (Schrems II), which concerned the legality of Facebook’s sharing of personal data from servers in Ireland and to the United States. With the ruling of the CJEU, it became prohibited to share personal data to various entities and cloud service providers that are subject to US jurisdiction in one way or another, and relied on the provisions of the EU-US Privacy shield.
