Bill > HR57

This bill, the Protecting Personal Data from Foreign Adversaries Act, aims to regulate or prohibit transactions using mobile applications or software programs that engage in the theft of user data on behalf of a communist country, foreign adversary, or state sponsor of terrorism. Specifically, it authorizes the President to impose sanctions on foreign persons who develop, maintain, provide, own, or control such mobile applications or software programs. The bill defines key terms, such as "communist country," "foreign adversary," and "state sponsor of terrorism," and outlines the sanctions that can be imposed, including asset blocking and visa restrictions. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to determine whether the mobile applications WeChat and TikTok, or any entities owned or controlled by them, meet the criteria for the application of sanctions under the bill or existing Executive Order 13694 on significant malicious cyber-enabled activities.
