American citizens will face huge fines, jail sentences if RESTRICT Act passes
Beware of the “Restricting the Emergence of Security Threats that Risk Information and Communications Technology Act”, also known as the RESTRICT Act, because it is not what it seems.
Unveiled by Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Tom Thune (R-S.D.), S.686 supposedly aims to cut off public access to the Chinese-owned TikTok social media platform. However, if passed, the legislation will allow the government to interfere with all online services and products, if it so chooses.
Online free speech will be gone if S.686 is allowed to pass. If the government deems that any online activity helps a “foreign adversary,” then it will be allowed to unilaterally ban such activity.
“The bill, sponsored by Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) allows the federal government to unilaterally designate any nation a ‘foreign adversary,’ ban online services and products even indirectly controlled by an entity in their jurisdiction, and then penalize Americans who conduct virtually any sort of transaction with them,” one media outlet explains about what the RESTRICT Act would do to online free speech........more.......
