Peter Swire, Testimony in Irish High Court Case (full-text).

Overview[]

Peter Swire's expert report was submitted to the Irish High Court in Data Protection Commissioner v. Facebook Ireland Limited & Maximilian Schrems where Max Schrems is challenging whether transfers of personal data under standard contract clauses are adequately protected under European Union privacy law. Under Irish rules, Swire was an expert selected by Facebook but required to give his independent opinion about U.S. law.

Overall, the testimony explains U.S. surveillance law for a non-U.S. audience.
