"Biden's Executive Order: Protecting Americans' Personal Data from Foreign Sales"

President Biden has issued an Executive Order to protect Americans' sensitive personal data from exploitation by countries of concern, focusing on genomic, biometric, health, geolocation, and financial data. The order aims to prevent large-scale transfer of data to such countries, safeguard sensitive government-related data, set high security standards, and ensure that federal grants and contracts do not facilitate access to sensitive health data. The administration also seeks to balance data protection with the free flow of information and is urging Congress to pass comprehensive privacy legislation.
