Why just these guys? Why not everybody?

Biden Acts to Stop Sales of Sensitive Personal Data to China and Russia

The president will ask the Justice Department to write rules restricting the sale of information about Americans’ locations, health and genetics to China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela, as well as any entities linked to those countries. The restrictions would also cover financial information, biometric data and other types of information that could identify individuals and sensitive information related to the government.

I can think of a half-dozen snarky answers to those questions, but no good ones. 

Personal data should be, well, personal. Shouldn't it?
