Under the guise of curbing data collection by foreign governments, the RESTRICT Act (Senate Bill 686) would set the stage for a restriction on the use of TikTok, but not do nearly enough to truly protect our private information.
Due to undefined mitigation measures coupled with a vague enforcement provision, the bill could also criminalize common practices like using a VPN or side-loading to install a prohibited app.
This is a Public Service Announcement.
If you haven’t heard about this bill currently trying to be pushed through legislation yet, please learn more about it in the YouTube video.
The language in the bill, while the proponents talk about Tik Tok and Chinese spying, is overly intrusive on Americans’ privacy. In fact, the term “Tik Tok” does not even appear in the bill.
I strongly urge you to read it yourself and look up your representative in order to make your voice heard.
Hopefully, this could be one of those unique moments of bipartisan opposition. Don’t get caught up in any of the weeds of political parties or TikTok rhetoric and see this for what it is — an attempt to restrict free speech..
