The United States will take the steps outlined in the Executive Order on Enhancing Safeguards for United States Signals Intelligence Activities (E.O.) that President Biden and President von der Leyen of the European Commission announced in March 2022 to implement the U.S. commitments under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

The $7.1 trillion economy between the EU and the US depends on transatlantic data flows. By addressing issues that the Court of Justice of the European Union raised in invalidating the previous EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework as a legitimate data transfer mechanism under EU law, the EU-U.S. DPF will reinstate a crucial legal basis for transatlantic data flows.

The Executive Order strengthens a stringent set of civil rights and privacy protections for American signals intelligence operations. 

Additionally, it establishes a free-standing, legally-binding process that enables residents of eligible states and regional economic integration bodies to seek restitution if they feel their personal data was obtained through U.S. signals intelligence in a way that contravened applicable U.S. law.

Cross-border data flows are essential for U.S. and EU businesses of all sizes to engage in the digital economy and broaden their business potential. 

The EU-U.S. DPF is the result of the United States and the European Commission working together to rebuild stability and trust in transatlantic data flows, and it illustrates the strength of their cooperation.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence's Civil Liberties Protection Officer (CLPO) will conduct an initial investigation into any qualifying complaints to ascertain whether the E.O.'s enhanced safeguards or any other relevant U.S. law were broken, and if so, what should be done about it. By stating that the CLPO's decision will be binding on the Intelligence Community and subject to a second level of review, the E.O. strengthens the already established statutory CLPO functions and offers safeguards to ensure the independence of the CLPO's investigations and determinations.

Users can access news information from the leading search engine both through Google News and Google Search. The complaint claims that users of Google Search can either directly search for news using the News Tab or obtain news via results in SERPs.

Through featured snippets like 'Top Stories' carousels, Google added news information to its SERPs. The true contribution made by the association's members to these platforms, it continued, isn't made up for by the money Google pays out to news publishers.

In a four-page judgement dated October 6 and made public on Friday, CCI stated that the claims are much the same as those of the case that the regulator is already looking into. The DG has been instructed by CCI to group the issues and produce a report on a combined investigation.

The CCI refers cases where there is prima facie evidence of a violation of the competition laws to its investigation arm, DG, for a thorough examination. Alphabet Inc., Google LLC, Google India Pvt Ltd, Google Ireland Ltd, and Google Asia Pacific Pte Ltd have all been named in the complaint.

Digital news media organisations and national and local private news and current affairs broadcasters make up the association.
