Between two commissions. The European Commission meets the Federal Trade Commission.
summary
Comparison of U.S. and EU privacy systems focuses on enforcement and concrete mechanisms: the FTC reports over 100 enforcement cases and 20-year consent orders requiring comprehensive privacy programs, the U.S. relies on sector laws and 47 state breach-notification statutes, and Safe Harbor covers about 4,000 Safe Harbor companies but faces 13 improvement requests and court challenge; disputes include audits (FTC says it does investigations not audits), Google/USSearch-style cases, and operationalizing deletion rights versus U.S. First Amendment limits.
