In testimony before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on June 5, 2025, Richard Salgado, Visiting Fellow on Security and Surveillance at the Cross-Border Data Forum, founder of Salgado Strategies, and a former DOJ prosecutor and Google executive, called the CLOUD Act the right framework for addressing growing threats to U.S. cybersecurity. These threats include a reported effort by the UK to secretly force Apple to weaken a global security feature. Salgado warned that such secret actions by foreign governments can harm American users, weaken global trust in U.S. companies, undermine security in the communications ecosystem, and benefit foreign competitors.
