   The Privacy Shield framework is supposed to protect companies that

   Privacy Shield to be suspended or at least re-negotiated. The US
   Department of Commerce allowed known NSA contractors to join the
   Privacy Shield program.

   Privacy Shield, if I remember correctly, is the NSA's industrial spying
   collaboration group. In return for not spying on the company's business
   the company is expected to GIVE the NSA their 'metadataz' in return for
   favors granted by FiveEyes.
   If that sounds like to Fascism to you, you're right.
   Funny thing is the alt-right wants Fascism in the US when the fact of
   the matter is the US has been a Fascist state for a long time, and the
   confusion of the alt-right about why that fascist state doesn't favor
   them is... priceless. As I said elsewhere the alt-right is more aptly
   referred to as 'alt-morons'. A... little... slow.
