“We haven’t had an answer in the national conservation about what data constitutes [a] national security risk and part of the reason we don’t know is because we don’t know how data’s going to be used in the future,” said Kathryn Waldon, a fellow at the R Street Institute, a public policy research organization and think tank. “…But without knowing the answer to that, it’s also hard to judge the proportionate response to any particular company. So while I definitely agree… that we cannot just look at country of origin — you need to be equally suspicious of American companies, European counties, at the same time I would also agree with Katie that country of origin for some companies and some infrastructure, there’s just too high of a risk for us to be really comfortable with including them in our supply chain.”
