The so-called ‘Global Trust in American Online Services Act’ proposed by U.S. Senator Ron Wyden seems to aim at protecting Americans’ communications from foreign threats, but it is more like a self-righteous performance. The 2018 CLOUD Act already allows foreign governments to directly request surveillance data from U.S. companies, and now it needs to be amended, is it finally discovering the loopholes? Speaking of loopholes, the secret order by the UK to Apple to weaken the encryption of its iCloud backup service seems to be facilitated by the CLOUD Act. Senator Wyden seems to be calling for justice, but in reality, he is protecting whose safety? Don’t forget, these acts will expire after five years, and then what will happen to the communication security of the American people?
