Biden Poised to Restrict Americans' Personal Data Going to China.

The Biden administration is planning to introduce a new executive order aimed at preventing foreign adversaries, particularly China, from accessing Americans' sensitive personal data. The order will impose restrictions on transactions involving data that could pose a national security threat if obtained by "countries of concern." The goal is to prevent China from accessing bulk sensitive data about Americans, including financial information, genetic data, voice patterns, and keyboard usage habits. The order has raised concerns about its potential economic impact, but it also includes provisions for assessing its effectiveness and economic consequences. Some experts argue that instead of restricting data transfers, the focus should be on implementing strong security and privacy requirements for all companies handling user data.
