U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Monday introduced a bill that aims to protect American interests by prohibiting companies from transferring user data or encryption keys to China, legislation that could impact Apple’s Chinese business strategy.
Hawley’s National Security and Personal Data Protection Act “cuts off the flow” of sensitive data to China and other countries that pose a threat to national security, as well as the security of individual Americans, according to a one-page summary (PDF link) of the bill.
“As revealed last week, China could use images of our servicemen and women’ obtained from sites like TikTok to train its autonomous weapons,” the release reads. “U.S. officials currently are assessing TikTok for national security reasons. China also could build or steal massive profiles on Americans. And China could use aggregate location data from phones to identify bridges or roads to target for sabotage.”
