Nate unpacks a new Florida DNA privacy law prohibiting life, disability and long-term care insurance companies from using genetic tests for coverage purposes. If Chief Justice Roberts were running for office, he couldn't have produced a better platform than the Court's latest tech decision – upholding most of a law that makes robocalls illegal while striking down the one part that authorizes robocalls for collection of government debt. Megan and I question whether this strategy will succeed. It's no surprise in the face of these developments that TikTok is working overtime to decouple itself in the public's mind from China, including going so far as to join the rest of Silicon Valley in signaling discomfort with Hong Kong's new security rules (and ruler). Not to be outdone by the contracting officers, the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department are attacking TikTok from a different direction – investigating claims that the company failed to live up to last year's consent decree on the privacy of children using the app.Īnd, on top of everything, private sector CISOs are drawing a bead on the app, too, as Wells Fargo and (briefly) Amazon told their employees to take the app off their work phones. It will deny federal contracts, not just contractors who want to deliver certain Chinese products but it will also cut off contractors who jsut use those products themselves. Meanwhile, another little-advertised but equally sweeping rule for government contractors is on its way to implementation. A straightforward application of IEEPA remedies would cut TikTok off from the US market, I argue.
That's the applicable legal standard under Executive Order 13873 it's brand-new (the regs aren't even final yet) but it relies on tools that have long been used under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA). The government's options include a simple ban on TikTok sales to US buyers based on a finding that the company is a threat to national security or the security of Americans. Every week seems to bring a new administration initiative that could hurt or kill TikTok's US business. In the News Roundup Megan Stifel Nate Jones and David Kris and I discuss TikTok's unenviable position - holding the ball at the wrong end of the court as the clock winds down to 00:00. In fact, the real question is who'll get there first, a combination of DHS's CISA and the FTC or the California Secretary of State. His solution is hard on IOT affordability and hard on big retailers and other middlemen, who will face new liabilities, but we conclude that it's achievable and maybe necessary.
