Protecting Americans' Data from Foreign Adversaries Act

This bill would restrict foreign adversary-controlled applications from accessing Americans' personal data. It targets apps owned or significantly influenced by companies based in China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The legislation requires these apps to either divest from foreign adversary control or face restrictions in U.S. app stores. It also establishes data security standards for all social media platforms and gives the FTC enforcement authority over violations.
