Ban on DoD Use of Tutor.com Due to Chinese Ownership and Data Risk.

This bill mandates the Department of Defense (DoD) to immediately terminate all contracts and relationships with Tutor.com, a long-standing tutoring provider for military families. The action is taken because Tutor.com was acquired by a Chinese-owned corporation, raising concerns that sensitive personal data (like location and session content) could be exposed to the Chinese government. The primary goal is to safeguard the privacy and national security of service members and their dependents.
Key points
The Department of Defense must stop using Tutor.com services within 30 days to protect the personal data of military families.
The change aims to prevent a Chinese-owned entity from accessing sensitive information regarding the location and educational content of military dependents.
