I thank the chairwoman for the time. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7520, the Protecting Americans' Data from Foreign Adversaries Act. H.R. 7520 is the next step in securing Americans' sensitive data from China and other adversaries. The bipartisan legislation would prohibit data brokers from selling our constituents' health history, precise geolocation, biometric data, and other extremely personal information to North Korea, Iran, China, and Russia, or any entity controlled by those countries. It also specifically includes protections for servicemembers and for any data from those under the age of 17. This is a commonsense measure that piggybacks off our efforts to decouple TikTok from the Chinese Communist Party and protect our national security. Our foreign adversaries should not have access to our most sensitive data. Allowing so risks manipulation and espionage. The bill is also another step in our efforts to protect Americans' privacy online. We will continue to work toward comprehensive data privacy protections, and especially protections for kids and teens online. Madam Speaker, this legislation is the right move for our constituents' privacy and security, and I encourage my colleagues to support it.
