Liberals stress privacy safeguards and anti-stigmatization protections
Likely supportive of transparency about foreign data storage and potential authoritarian access.
Would view the bill as a useful consumer-rights and human-rights disclosure, while wanting stronger privacy protections and safeguards against stigmatization of individuals or businesses.
Generally favorable to basic disclosure requirements that improve consumer information and national security awareness.

Likely supportive of measures exposing potential CCP access to U.S. persons' data given national security concerns.
