“Privacy vs. Politics: What Project 2025 Means for Your Data”

 

If Donald Trump secures a second term, Project 2025 outlines a more aggressive stance toward foreign tech platforms, especially those linked to China. Apps like TikTok and WeChat, which were previously targeted during his first term, are once again in the spotlight. The proposal hints at outright bans or severe restrictions based on national security concerns, citing data harvesting and foreign influence as key threats.

Alongside targeting foreign tech, Project 2025 proposes a broader overhaul of the U.S. data privacy framework. This includes empowering federal agencies to impose stricter rules on how companies collect, store, and share user data. While this could increase protections for American consumers, critics warn it might also lead to selective enforcement or be used to pressure companies deemed politically unfavorable.

The plan also envisions reshaping tech-sector oversight by reducing the power of independent regulatory agencies like the FTC, and placing more authority under the Executive Branch. This move could potentially centralize control over antitrust investigations, content moderation policies, and AI governance. Such changes would dramatically alter the tech industry’s regulatory environment, giving the White House more direct influence over major platforms and their operations.
