Internet Application I.D. Act

This bill would require anyone who owns, controls, or distributes a website or mobile app that is owned in whole or in part by a foreign adversary country, or by an entity tied to one, to tell U.S. users about that ownership. The same rule would apply to websites and apps that store user information in a foreign adversary country. Starting one year after the law takes effect, these services would have to clearly disclose who owns them, whether user information is stored in a foreign adversary country, and whether that country's government or state-owned entities can access the information. Knowingly giving false information would be illegal, and the Federal Trade Commission would enforce the law as an unfair or deceptive practice.
