The Biden executive order we reported on Monday is being issued today: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/02/26/biden-sensitive-data-china-ban/

Will block bulk sale of biometric, financial, genomic, geolocation and health data to China and other "countries of concern." White House called it "the most significant executive action any President has ever taken to protect Americans’ data security"

New Biden order would stem flow of Americans’ sensitive data to China

The effort aims to forestall foreign adversaries’ use of data to identify, target and surveil Americans.

@drewharwell Would be cool if they'd make sure such data is also protected from sale to corporations of any country but alas and alack, such protections are over-reaching and therefore must be limited to countries of concern and not corporations of concern in addition.
