The draft bill, Protecting Americans' Data From Foreign Surveillance Act (the Act), would ban the sale of Americans' personal data not only to "unfriendly" foreign countries who pose a threat to national security, but also to countries without adequate data protections in place. While primarily aimed at China and Russia, the Act's reach could extend to countries like Ireland, which so far has failed to impose serious fines for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) violations. Having strong regulations in place under the Act is not enough if those regulations are not being enforced.
