      Not after the fact. They are due process when the government has to prove it’s case before it can take punitive action. If the government is allowed to take punitive action without going to court to prove it’s needed than there is no due process.

      Why is that so hard to understand?

                If we’re being semantic this isn’t an anything because the only thing it says is that the FTC can do FTC things to any company that sends data to an adversarial nation.
