Cathy McMorris Rodgers: “The Protecting Americans' Data from Foreign Adversaries Act is crucial for our national security.”

I am appreciative of Ranking Member Pallone bringing this legislation forward so that we may establish clear prohibitions on the sale of location and health information to our adversaries.

TikTok has repeatedly been caught lying about its connection to ByteDance as well as the level of access the CCP has to our data.

This is a targeted approach to prohibit access to an application owned by a foreign adversary that poses a clear threat to U.S. national security.

I firmly believe that we must do what we can now to safeguard Americans' personal data while we work to advance privacy legislation.
