Comme un bon DPO ou un gentil consultant, vous faites semblant de croire ce que les GAFAM vous disent, vous vous arrachez les cheveux pour trouver des « mesures additionnelles » pour continuer à travailler avec eux.
Et ensuite, vous apprenez dans un article publié sur TechCrunch que ces fameux GAFAM non seulement obéissent lorsque le gouvernement américain leur demande d’accéder aux emails de leurs clients, mais qu’en plus ils respectent à la lettre l’injonction de ne rien en dire au client qui a été victime de cette violation de sa vie privée.
Dans ces conditions, il devient illusoire d’espérer que, d’une manière ou d’une autre, le législateur européen pourrait rendre vie au fameux Privacy Shield mis à bas par l’arrêt Schrems.

Microsoft’s customer security chief says as many as one-third of all government demands that the company receives for customer data are issued with secrecy clauses that prevents it from disclosing the search to the subject of the warrant.
The figure was disclosed in testimony by Microsoft’s Tom Burt ahead of a House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, as lawmakers weigh a legislative response to efforts by the Justice Department under the Trump administration to secretly obtain call and email records as part of an investigation into the leaks of classified information to reporters at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN.
Burt said that such secrecy orders “have unfortunately become commonplace,” and that Microsoft regularly receives “boilerplate secrecy orders unsupported by any meaningful legal or factual analysis.”
In his testimony, Burt said that since 2016, Microsoft received between 2,400 to 3,500 secrecy orders each year, or 7 to 10 a day. Microsoft said in its transparency report that it received close to 11,200 legal orders from U.S. authorities last year.
