This executive order does *not* affect the ongoing negotiations between TikTok and CFIUS on a solution to secure the data of US users, which is a separate process and never really stopped, according to a person familiar with the matter. — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden administration is revoking Trump's executive orders targeting TikTok, WeChat and other Chinese apps and replacing them with a broader order that is still aimed at the general idea of Chinese apps being a potential national security risk.

The fact that Colonial “fact-checked repeatedly” whether DarkSide was on any sanctions list shows that the warnings are at least being considered. But it also reveals a determination to pay that’s a problematic sign for US officials who want to make ransomware less rewarding. — PolitiTweet.org

But of course, we don’t really know if the warnings have really deterred anyone from paying up as intended. And in the case of Colonial, the warnings didn’t seem to apply — the company determined that the hackers were not on any kind of sanctions list. So paying would be legal. — PolitiTweet.org

To try to disrupt that calculus, the Treasury Department has warned businesses that sending ransom payments to entities subject to US sanctions may be viewed as a federal violation. Scary! — PolitiTweet.org

This is interesting because all ransomware boils down to a question of financial incentives. To a company as essential as Colonial, paying a few million up front is absolutely worth it in the face of potential disruption that could cost you far, far more. The fear is the thing. — PolitiTweet.org

If the US government had its way, the Court says, the law "would attach criminal penalties to a breathtaking amount of commonplace computer activity," such as sending a personal email or reading the news on a work computer. More here: https://t.co/xd0oBonQ0H — PolitiTweet.org

There's a bit of a weird dynamic here. On one hand, this decision tacitly permits law enforcement to abuse their power / access to resources. On the other hand, it constrains the government's ability to prosecute misconduct that stops short of breaking into a computer. — PolitiTweet.org
