This is going to hurt Biden's chances. Stop trying to help the American people you old fossil. Go back eating ice cream or something, surely that's won't be controversial.

How about some fucking executive orders to protect American workers. You know, the 99% of the country that has been getting ass fucked by corporations for decades?
How about an executive order aimed at Amazon, Trader Joe's, SpaceX, and the rest of the cimpanies attempting to dismantle our rights as laborers?
Or, y'know, the actual government of the USA. Throwback Thursday: https://www.wired.com/story/hemisphere-das-white-house-surveillance-trillions-us-call-records/
Could you elaborate on what you'd like that executive order to do? They're trying to attack our rights through the judicial branch, an executive order is limited to instructing administrations in the executive branch within the limits of the responsibilities those administrations can perform.
How the fuck can we sit here and call China a "hostile" country when our Walmarts are still full of their shit? I guess not hostile enough to not want that sweet cheap-ass plastic lawn chair.
Trade between hostile countries has been a thing since forever. To take WW2 as an example, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were signing fresh trade deals with each other right up until a few months before Operation Barbarossa
Yes, but we're enabling them by doing so. It's hypocritical.
Copy the GDPR, America
I dare you
Don't think that's in the scope of an executive action
Wouldn’t that be nice. Guess I’ll just continue to allegedly fire up a VPN so I get served the EU version of websites. Bonjour, je suis Elliot.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Joe Biden will issue an executive order Wednesday intended to safeguard the personal data of American citizens from countries deemed hostile.
“Countries of concern can also access Americans’ sensitive personal data to collect information on activists, academics, journalists, dissidents, political figures, and members of non-governmental organizations and marginalized communities to intimidate opponents of countries of concern, curb dissent, and limit Americans’ freedom of expression and other civil liberties,” the White House said.
The executive order will direct the Department of Justice to issue several regulations intended to protect sensitive data.
Additionally, the order directs the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United States Telecommunications Services Sector “to consider the threats to Americans’ sensitive personal data” when they conduct reviews of submarine cable licenses.
“These actions not only align with the U.S.′ longstanding support for the trusted free flow of data, but also are consistent with U.S.′ commitment to an open Internet with strong and effective protections for individuals’ privacy and measures to preserve governments’ abilities to enforce laws and advance policies in the public interest,” the White House explainer read.
Last week, the Biden administration announced an executive order intended to improve the cybersecurity of U.S. ports.
The original article contains 506 words, the summary contains 196 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Nice. He did foreign. Now do domestic.
But then they wouldn't have the opportunity to sell our data to China.
Sad Edward Snowden noises
I see what you did there, but I'll take it. Since Congress isn't going to touch it with a $500,000 pole.
