U.S. Data on U.S. Soil Act

HR 6410, the U.S. Data on U.S. Soil Act, requires major technology platforms with over 100 million monthly U.S. users to store and restrict access to U.S. citizen data within the United States. Specifically, it forbids storing this "covered data" (including personal identifiers linked to U.S. nationals) in data centers located in foreign adversary countries or allowing officials from those countries to access it. The Federal Trade Commission enforces these rules as violations of unfair business practices, with penalties under the FTC Act. The law applies to large consumer-facing platforms like social media and apps, while preserving stricter state privacy laws and excluding data not tied to U.S. citizens.
