Ron Wyden is asking the Commerce Department to strengthen proposed rules meant to keep U.S. technologies out of the hands of repressive nations that spy on dissidents, journalists and American citizens, arguing that regulators should expand the list of applicable countries and close a loophole that could be used to avoid the restrictions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2024\/07\/29\/2024-16498\/export-administration-regulations-crime-controls-and-expansionupdate-of-us-persons-controls\">The proposed rules<\/a> promulgated by Commerce\u2019s Bureau of Industry and Security arise from a law that Congress enacted in 2022, and apply to foreign civilian police and intelligence agencies, rather than just military intelligence agencies under previous law. That 2022 law was inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-spying-raven-specialreport\/special-report-inside-the-uaes-secret-hacking-team-of-u-s-mercenaries-idUSKCN1PO19O\/\">a Reuters investigation<\/a> that revealed how the United Arab Emirates hired former U.S. intelligence operatives to employ cyber-espionage tools against enemies, including the proposed targeting of Americans. Under the proposed rules, the senator said, some of the export controls wouldn\u2019t apply to the UAE.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter to the department Wednesday, first reported by CyberScoop, Wyden \u2014 an Oregon Democrat and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legistorm.com\/stormfeed\/view_rss\/2172626\/member\/3319\/title\/congress-passes-representative-malinowskis-provision-to-keep-american-technology-out-of-the-hands-of-adversaries-and-repressive-dictators.html\">a co-author of the 2022 law<\/a> \u2014 said the bureau had done important work on the regulations it first proposed in July, but that it needed to go further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe proposed export controls will make it harder for regimes to engage in human rights abuses ranging from mass surveillance of their citizens to hacking into the phones of dissidents and independent journalists,\u201d Wyden wrote. \u201cHowever, we are concerned that the draft rules contain gaps that would allow autocratic governments to continue buying technologies and services from American companies to commit human rights abuses.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>First, the bureau should expand the list of countries subject to the arms controls beyond the 23 nations\u2019 foreign security agencies they would apply to because they were under arms embargoes, unilateral economic embargoes or are designated as state sponsors of terrorism. the senator said. That \u201cleaves out many other severely repressive regimes,\u201d like Azerbaijan, Egypt, Laos, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, the UAE and Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>The list of foreign intelligence agencies subject to the export controls would be longer, 45 in all, but would still exclude those of nations Wyden wrote had \u201ctroubling human rights records,\u201d \u2014 including Algeria, Brunei, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Hungary, India, Morocco, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey and Uganda \u2014 as well as agencies that conduct espionage or other disruptive operations against the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the bureau should shore up due diligence requirements for exporters and consultants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe proposed rules also apply if a U.S. company wants to do business with a private foreign company that provides goods or services to intelligence or security agencies in designated countries,\u201d Wyden wrote. \u201cHowever, the rules contain a loophole: no license would be required if the foreign company does not disclose its client list. And as a general rule, surveillance companies such as spyware providers don\u2019t reveal which governments they sell to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the rules should apply to all biometric surveillance technologies, not just facial recognition, the senator contended.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The bureau opened up public comment on the proposed rules at the end of July, then extended that comment period into October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must prevent hack-for-hire business models from circumventing our human rights-based export controls, such as those on cyber-intrusion tools,\u201d Thea D. Rozman Kendler, assistant secretary of commerce for export administration, said in a July 25 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bis.gov\/press-release\/commerce-proposes-restrictions-us-persons-support-foreign-military-intelligence-and\">news release<\/a>. \u201cToday, we are proposing enhanced controls on activities supporting foreign police and security services, including those known to violate human rights, as well as new controls on facial recognition technologies that can enable mass surveillance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/docket\/BIS-2023-0006\/comments\">separate comments<\/a>, some industry groups have argued the rules will backfire, as the foreign agencies targeted under the export controls would be able to buy the same technologies from foreign competitors and the new rules would create compliance challenges for U.S. companies.<\/p>\n<p>Wyden\u2019s letter comes in the same week the Biden administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextgov.com\/cybersecurity\/2024\/10\/biden-admin-issues-restrictions-us-investments-sensitive-tech-tied-china\/400619\/\">released a final rule<\/a> to limit U.S. foreign investment into sensitive quantum, artificial intelligence and semiconductor tech that could undermine American national security. It particularly targets transactions that would enhance China\u2019s military, intelligence, surveillance or \u201ccyber-enabled\u201d capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"7.7216117216117\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/exclusive-senator-calls-on-commerce-to-tighten-proposed-rules-on-exporting-surveillance-hacking-tech-to-problematic-nations-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Tim Starks\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-card__details\" readability=\"10.901098901099\">\n<h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Tim Starks<\/h4>\n<p> Tim Starks is senior reporter at CyberScoop.
