Internet Application I.D. Act

S 4598, the Internet Application I.D. Act, requires app and website providers operating in the U.S. to clearly disclose to users whether: (1) the service is owned by a foreign adversary country or its entities, (2) user data is stored in such a country, or (3) foreign adversary countries have access to that data. The law applies to "covered services" meeting specific ownership or data storage criteria, directly affecting U.S. users of those platforms. It mandates plain-language disclosures within one year of enactment and prohibits false statements about these points. The Federal Trade Commission will enforce the law as a deceptive practice under existing authority. The bill targets transparency for services linked to countries designated as "foreign adversaries" under existing U.S. law.
