    Quite likely to happen: They will subcontract a company to manage data to ensure there are no transfers. It will be a shell company with several layers of other shells, that at the root will be a 3-letter agency providing a big sack of money that ultimately ends up in Zuck's bank account.

    Since it's perfectly legal from the US side, net change is Zuck gets more money. If the EU ever digs down far enough to declare shenanigans and issues huge fines, the subcontractor declares bankruptcy, and a new subcontractor lathers, rinses, and repeats. Zuck promises to keep a closer eye on things, and gets a new sack of money. If they issue the fine to Facey book instead, it'll be tied up in court and appeals for a decade.

    Yes, I am a curmudgeon.
