This bonus episode of the Cyberlaw podcast focuses on the national security implications of sensitive personal information. Sales of personal data have been largely unregulated as the growth of adtech has turned personal data into a widely traded commodity. This in turn has produced a series of policy proposals: comprehensive privacy regulation, a strange proposal from Senator Wyden (D-OR) to ensure that US governments cannot purchase such data while China and Russia can, and more recently an executive order to ban OR limit trade transactions that China, Russia and other adversary nations offer with access to most Americans’ sensitive personal data and government-related data.
To more fully understand the executive order and the Justice Department’s plans to implement it, I interview Lee Licata, deputy section chief for national security data risk.
