Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Section 2(a): This provision requires clear disclosures to individuals who download or use a covered service about whether it is owned by a foreign adversary country or entity. This is positive because it gives people direct information so they know who owns the technology they are using.
-
Section 2(a)(2): This requires disclosures about whether information collected from the covered service is stored and maintained in a foreign adversary country. This could be considered positive because it helps people understand where their personal information is being kept.
-
Section 2(a)(3): This requires a disclosure of whether a foreign adversary country or entity has access to the information collected. This is helpful for individuals to know who might be able to view their data.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Section 3(a) and Section 3(b): The text does not explicitly list negative impacts or burdens for individuals, but it establishes that violations are treated as unfair or deceptive acts enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. While enforcement holds companies accountable, the text itself does not detail direct negative consequences for everyday people.
