Bill would require State Department to provide information on sales of offensive cyber tools to foreign governments. The measure was introduced after a U.S. firm sold technologies to the United Arab Emirates that were used to target activists and journalists. The House appropriations committee approved the measure in a 29-23 vote on Thursday, sending it to the House floor. The bill also would require Congress to be notified if a firm is penalized for violating policies on such sales. The proposal has garnered support among those seeking greater transparency when it comes to these transactions.”]
