Section 205 of the act ostensibly prohibits the collection of data for the purpose of "tracking" individuals' personally identifiable information. However, analysts suggest the language is "nefarious," potentially allowing for monitoring and exfiltration as long as it is not explicitly defined as tracking.

Grassley criticizes the lack of transparency, noting the bill was introduced and rushed to the floor without committee debate or public access to the text. The legislation is being handled through "huddled backroom meetings" despite promises of government transparency.

The bill also mandates a comprehensive strategy for the adoption of cloud computing by the federal government. Concerns are raised that this creates a "cyber army" of government-funded researchers and facilitates a "straight pipe" for the NSA into private cloud services.
