House unanimously passes bill to block data brokers from selling Americans’ info to foreign adversaries

The bill’s passage follows a White House executive order designed to prevent those same foreign adversaries from accessing American’s bulk sensitive personal data, Brandon Pugh, director and a resident senior fellow for the R Street Institute’s Cybersecurity and Emerging Threats team, noted via email.

“It will be critical to follow how both of these efforts progress to assess what data is implicated and how it is carried out,” he said. “That is something the Senate should consider.”
