The "Internet Application Integrity and Disclosure Act" establishes new disclosure requirements for certain internet websites and mobile applications, referred to as "covered services." These services must clearly and conspicuously inform users if they are owned, wholly or partially, by a foreign adversary country , a foreign adversary country-owned entity, or a non-state-owned entity located in such a country. The legislation defines a "foreign adversary country" by referencing existing U.S. code, ensuring a consistent application of this term. Furthermore, covered services must disclose whether information collected from their platforms is stored and maintained in a foreign adversary country . A critical provision also requires disclosure if a foreign adversary country or an associated entity has access to this collected information . Providing false information under these requirements is deemed unlawful, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is granted authority to enforce these provisions as unfair or deceptive acts or practices, utilizing its existing powers under the Federal Trade Commission Act.
