The RESTRICT Act is a Senate bill that is known as the "TikTok Bill," but it could be the single most dangerous legislation proposed by the US govt in recent times.
We need to talk about this bill - because if it passes, it will have a detrimental effect on all American citizens. So let's get the conversation started, and make sure we're all aware of the ramifications of this bill.
The future depends on it.

S. 686, also known as the RESTRICT Act, is about WAY more than TikTok. It leaves WIDE authority for the U.S. government to monitor, control and force the handing over of private data.
Among many other issues, it mentions fines and prison time for things like using VPNs, which is insane.
There's a lot in it to unpack. Just please, stay informed, and call your congresspeople if you can.
RESIST this dangerous garbage.

US Senate bill #S686 would give the government authority over all forms of communication, domestic or abroad. And grants powers to “enforce any mitigation measure to address any risk.”
It’s overbroad and Orwellian. Leave it to government to take advantage of a singular risk for massive overreach.

While I get that having state actors (from ANY government) control and influence a social media platform, turning someone into an instant felon because they chose to use a VPN to access a social media site is ridiculously heavy handed.
Yet, that’s exactly what the Senate wants to do with #S686, the #RESTRICT act with a 20 year prison sentence, too, just for accessing #tiktok through a #VPN.

The TikTok ban is a distraction. And stories about Meta being the reason are also a smoke screen. The bill associated with all this, S.686 aka The RESTRICT Act is far broader reaching. Creating a Ministry of Truth...er... Dept of Communications, and giving the gov't free reign to hack any internet connected device. It's downright terrifying
