Senators Introduce Bill Requiring Apps to Label Country of Origin

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) introduced a bill that would mandate digital apps to list their country of origin. The legislation, titled the American Privacy Protection (APP) Act, would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to direct companies to release where the app was created and where data collected by the app is stored.
