Foreign adversaries. What’s to stop them from selling to an ally and the ally re-selling that data?
If they’re this concerned they need to ban data brokers in general. And enforce those bans.
Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it
WhatsThePoint@lemmy.world 5 months agoReading the bill further - it does mention the banning of the sale of America data to foreign adversaries enforceable by the FCC. That language does sound like a ban on data brokers selling to China too. It will be difficult to enforce with shell corporations and non-adversary countries who may partner with Chinese companies, but the language seems to be there. Be interesting to see how this plays out.

That was already a law. Facebook is being sued for it right now by the government after getting caught doing it multiple times over the last 15ish years.
