US President Barack Obama has signed a measure into law on Wednesday that extends US privacy protections to European citizens and allows them to take legal action in US courts.
Obama praised the law for ensuring “that everybody’s data is protected in the strongest possible way with our privacy laws not only American citizens, but also foreign citizens.”
The Judicial Redress Act extends protections under US privacy law to allow citizens of certain countries as designated by the government to correct information in their records and take action in US courts if the US government unlawfully discloses their personal information.
