EU court overturns US data transfer agreement in Facebook privacy case |

Europe's top court on Thursday struck down a data privacy pact that had allowed companies to transfer private user data between servers in Europe and the United States. However, EU citizens' data can still be sent to the US and other countries under a separate, existing mechanism.

In a case brought against internet giant Facebook, the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg ruled that the data transfer agreement "Privacy Shield" failed to adequately protect Europeans' data from US surveillance and security laws and was therefore invalid.
