Max Schrems notes settlement with Irish DPC in Jan 2021 amid Schrems II fallout

The statement highlights that of the 101 model complaints filed by noyb after the Schrems II ruling, none have been decided yet. It notes that the original Facebook complaint led to a settlement with the Irish Data Protection Commission in January 2021. The European Commission is issuing new Standard Contractual Clauses while DPAs remain largely inactive.

Why it matters: The lack of decisions on Schrems II complaints and only a single settlement underscores ongoing uncertainty for EU‑US data transfers.
