In a move aimed at safeguarding Americans' personal data, President Biden is scheduled to sign an executive order today that will target data brokers selling such information to foreign countries, particularly those deemed as 'countries of concern' like Russia and China.
The executive order is a response to mounting security concerns surrounding the sale of personal data to foreign entities, with a specific focus on Chinese-based apps such as Taimou and TikTok. These apps have come under scrutiny for their data collection practices and potential risks to national security.
