Well, we'd have to read the bill. As we know, politicians like to add all kinds of BS into bills that have nothing to do with the bill.
Also, the article says companies like Facebook and Google don't have the restrictions that this bill would impose so maybe that has something to do with it.
What really come to mind is China, and their quest to become the Saudi Arabia of Data (term coined from Robert Spalding - look up his videos on YouTube). So, the US needs to be strategic and protect Americans data, while allowing freedom, from countries like China and Russia who are gathering our data and using it against us.
This is a very interesting topic. I'm no expert on anything but just my thoughts to your question.
