The Department of Justice (DOJ) has proposed a new rule that would regulate the use of Americans’ personal information by foreign companies and foreign persons in six “countries of concern,” prohibiting and restricting the sale of data to thwart the use of data for cyber-enabled activities, espionage, coercion, influence and blackmail.
The notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), issued Monday, designated six countries of concern: China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela.
