The ruling which led to this conclusion was made back in July 2020.
From the article:
> This is a very detailed and sound decision. The bottom line is: Companies can't use US cloud services in Europe anymore. It has now been 1.5 years since the Court of Justice confirmed this a second time, so it is more than time that the law is also enforced.
This article is addressing a specific case which follows from a previous judgement (known as Schrems II) which determined that Facebook could not transfer data from Ireland to the US under the US 'Privacy Shield' framework, as it no longer meets the GDPR's adequacy requirement due to CLOUD Act.
This finding by the Austrian court just reaffirms that the Schrems judgement also applies to Google Analytics.
As the article mentions, this is the first of 101 cases ongoing brought by Schrems, and I expect them all to end in more or less the same outcome.
