Internet Application I.D. Act
HR 784, the Internet Application I.D. Act, requires app and website owners with Chinese Communist Party or Chinese non-state ownership to clearly disclose this fact to users during download or use. It prohibits falsely claiming ownership or omitting this disclosure. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the law under existing FTC Act rules for unfair or deceptive practices. This directly affects developers and distributors of mobile apps or websites with significant Chinese ownership ties.
