Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill prohibits U.S. courts from enforcing judgments against American technology companies when those judgments stem from foreign digital market regulations—particularly those that differ significantly from U.S. law. The legislation specifically targets regulations like the European Union's Digital Markets Act, which imposes requirements around data sharing, interoperability, and fair competition on large tech platforms. The bill defines protected companies as those doing business with the federal government, organized under U.S. law, and providing "core platform services" like major social media or search platforms. It grants the President broad authority to take unspecified actions to shield these companies from foreign regulatory enforcement, considering impacts on U.S. consumers, economic security, and international relations. The bill contains no specific funding requirements or implementation timelines but would substantially limit the ability of foreign governments to regulate American technology companies operating abroad.
