Sen. Ron Wyden has introduced a draft bill aimed at reforming the CLOUD Act in light of UK demands for Apple to enable access to encrypted customer data. Concerns arise over the law, which permits foreign governments to compromise U.S. tech security without adhering to due process. Wyden’s proposed changes seek to fortify Americans' digital privacy and prevent foreign nations from undermining the integrity of American technology by gaining unmitigated access to sensitive data, while still allowing allies to conduct legitimate investigations.
Foreign governments shouldn't get a cheat code to undermine the security of American technology. My bill would fix the loopholes in the CLOUD Act.
The CLOUD Act failed to require foreign countries to adopt the same due process requirements long guaranteed under U.S. law, enabling foreign governments to demand that U.S. technology companies weaken security.
