Most countries have an expansive set of tools at their disposal in terms of sanctions and asset freezes. In general they are rooted in legislation relative to money laundering and terrorism funding, though that is traditionally for financial assets. I'm not entirely sure how they jumped to seizing yachts.

So Schrems II happened and the Privacy Shield is no more. The ECJ did affirm SCCs but also indicated that the reach of US agencies would make it a challenge for firms to successfully enforce equivalent protection contractually. Do you think EU-US data transfers are still realistically feasible with SCCs and if so what would you say are the minimum technological safeguards to implement to pass the test? (Leaving aside the relative lack of enforcement on that point for now)
