House and Senate Commerce Committees unveil new bipartisan data privacy bill.

Congressional leaders unveiled the American Privacy Rights Act to create a national standard for consumer privacy, granting rights to restrict data sales, sue violators, opt out of targeted advertising, and access personal data, while Senator McConnell backed a measure to force TikTok’s divestiture over PRC-linked surveillance and propaganda concerns. Additional highlights include a major U.S. deal with TSMC to expand chip manufacturing in Arizona, an upcoming House hearing on comprehensive privacy and kids’ online safety bills, Germany’s plan to establish a central command and dedicated cyber branch, and House debate on reauthorizing Section 702 ahead of its April 19 sunset.
