What's your opinion on this new EU ruling
As we all know, the EU is a bureaucratic nightmare. That's one thing most people agree on, with each having different opinion on the benefits and cons of the EU depending on where a person is living. The EU courts made plenty of questionable decisions, which were criticized by many people. One law I don't like is them forcing the VAT regulations that became on 1 January 2015. For that, we can thank Amazon, EU S.A.R.L and other companies selling from Luxembourg for years. It's just a pain.
I wonder what that ruling's effects in the link below will be on online businesses that do transactions between EU and USA.
We pretty much can expect the so much loved agencies doing their "jobs" uninterrupted. I assume FB, Google, Amazon and such will find a way around this anyway.

It will probably cause annoying pop-ups like the cookie law/ruling/whatever
A prime example of mindless bureaucratic inefficiency.
That's one of the most useless internet change I've faced myself with. You go to a site and if they have adsense/other strict advertising network on there, they have to pop this stupid message up which can kill advertising conversions plus it doesn't stop websites tracking you.
I wonder why the likes of firefox, IE and chrome doesn't come with noscript capabilities. If that would be a standard, it would pretty much quickly kill javascript related advertising.
This was discussed soooo many times already...
This is why I want the UK to finally leave the EU - IMHO it would only be for the best
Yeah and then Scotland, Catalonia, Bavaria,.. will split as well.
Eventually only Greece will be left in EU.
At least they'll have plenty of printed money to support their inflation

I think overall it's a good thing. The EU has tighter restrictions on personal data and I don't see why the US should have a get-out clause. Potentially more bureaucratic for businesses that rely on US stuff in the EU, and a reduction in sales for US companies. Funny that the ruling came out just after TPP: it's almost a middle finger to the US's consumer protection.
I hope not but honestly I wouldn't be surprised.
So, which law protects us from UK's monitoring?

This case is about non-E.U. countries interfering with the fundamental rights of E.U. citizens. Issues regarding E.U. countries interfering with the fundamental rights of E.U. citizens must be
left to future casesglossed over on national security grounds.
