America and Europe have reached a new Safe Harbor agreement

Fortunately, the European Commission announced on Tuesday that some Safe Harbor 2.0 laws have been agreed upon by American and European negotiators, and they’re specifically designed to limit surveillance of European citizens by the American government.
