Raja Krishnamooti of the Illinois Democratic Party has co-sponsored a related bill in the House that calls for a “strong digital surveillance and influence campaign” to protect Americans from “a totalitarian regime’s heinous digital surveillance and influence operations.” It is a step,” he said.

“At a time when the Chinese Communist Party and other adversaries overseas seek the advantages they can find against the United States through espionage and mass surveillance, hostile forces are potentially controlling social media networks.
