The Biden administration has unveiled proposed regulations aimed at restricting the transfer of sensitive data of US citizens to adversarial nations. These new rules, introduced by the Justice Department, would prevent or limit the sale and transfer of Americans' sensitive personal data, including biometric and genomic information, to six 'countries of concern,' including China, Russia, and Iran. The regulations specifically target data brokers and are part of a broader effort to enhance data security and privacy.
