On March 20, the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Resolution 7520, the Protecting Americans’ Data from Foreign Adversaries Act of 2024, targeting companies that sell sensitive information to “foreign adversaries.”  H.R. 7520 comes on the heels of two other major developments. First, House Resolution 7521 would require TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company. Second, President Biden’s Executive Order 14117, requires, among other things, that the Attorney General make rules restricting data brokers from selling bulk sensitive personal data to “countries of concern.” The two resolutions and the E.O. are part of a growing, bipartisan trend to restrict access to sensitive information by foreign adversaries.
