WASHINGTON : A bipartisan group of six senators and two members of the House of Representatives on Wednesday introduced legislation to protect Americans’ data from being used by U.S. adversaries.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, a Democrat, said the bill"would turn off the tap of data to unfriendly nations, stop TikTok from sending Americans’ personal information to China, and allow nations with strong privacy protections to strengthen their relationships." The bill would direct the Commerce Department to identify categories of personal data that could harm U.S. national security and create a list of high-risk countries where sensitive data exports would be blocked.
In March, a U.S. House committee voted along party lines to give Democratic President Joe Biden the power to ban Chinese-owned TikTok but that bill has not moved forward.
