The "TikTok ban" goes beyond TikTok. It is another huge step toward total control.

See this great Twitter thread by the LP's Mises Caucus:

But sure, let's talk about Trump and DeSantis and wokeness.

The RESTRICT Act is not limited to just TikTok. It gives the government authority over all forms of communication domestic or abroad and grants powers to “enforce any mitigation measure to address any risk” to national security now and in any “potential future transaction”.

For the purpose of this bill a “Transaction” is anything, by anyone.

So what happens if you are designated a national security threat? What can they access of yours to confirm it? Everything.
Notice the preemptive attack on quantum encryption in there, too.

It also allows the Director of National Intelligence and Secretary of Commerce the authority to universally designate new “Foreign Adversaries” without notifying congress and a 15 day window to notify the president. It also requires a joint resolution of Congress to overturn.

If you recall from before, “Foreign Individuals” can now also be US citizens that are deemed a national security threat. Once designated, the bill grants authority to enforce any action deemed necessary to mitigate the threat, with no due process and few limits on punishments.

After the federal government has detained you without due process to mitigate the “immediate threat” you pose, what kind of punishments await you in court? $1,000,000 fine, 20 years in prison and forfeiture of everything you own.

This act also grants unlimited hiring power to positions of enforcement, unlimited funds with little or no review and immunity to FOIA.

Sickening, right under our noses apparently. This is basically the new Patriot Act.
 
With Democrats leading the charge now on this, it became obvious what the agenda was.
Yeah I definitely heard the deep state media trying to promote it.

Yet they won't say what it actually is, just something scary about Chinese people with our data and that people supported it in a poll, so obviously this is "democratic" or something.
 
Just bar the company tik tok by name from doing business within the US if it is such a threat. No blanket policy is needed.

It was never really about TikTok though. It's about American companies and the NSA having our data and our money. It's about Big Tech and total surveillance.

Also, TikTok isn't a threat. Just don't use it. While I would be fine putting some business restrictions on it, the Internet cannot be touched as it is one of the last hopes for freedom.

Senate Anti-TikTok Bill Is 'Patriot Act For Technology'

Senate Anti-TikTok Bill Is 'Patriot Act For Technology'



Like the PATRIOT Act after 9/11, the RESTRICT Act introduced in the Senate is using a "crisis" to decimate our core Constitutional liberties. The bill gives any presidential administration the power to simply end any social media company it deems a "national security threat." Also today: US pressuring Europe to break with China - will it work?
 
Lets cut to the summary because people have the attention span of goldfish.

Use a VPN: 20 YEARS IN PRISON
Use a Foreign App: 20 YEARS IN PRISON
Express Free Speech: 20 YEARS IN PRISON
Accused of DISINFORMATION: 20 YEARS IN PRISON

PER INCIDENT

NO JUDGE. NO JURY. NO TRIAL. DO NOT COLLECT $200 DOLLARS, GO DIRECTLY TO PRISON.

All it takes is an ACCUSATION because THERE IS NO TRIAL. THERE IS NO RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE. THERE IS NO COURT.

In the end, the result is DO NOT SPEAK PERIOD. For that is the ONLY way you may remain in compliance with the law.

---

This is NOT "just the next attack", or an Incremental Step, THIS IS THE FINAL STEP.

IF THEY ACCUSE YOU, YOU ARE DEAD.

Even the socialist crazies I know are outraged by this. Hopefully, it blows up in Congress' face.
