It's not about TikTok. America used the Patriot Act as a way of invading the privacy of every American in the name of keeping them safe from terrorists.
The emails, calls, smses, social media communications and more of every us citizen have been intercepted and stored.
The snowden leaks showed us exactly how invasive this invasion of privacy was.
This bill is looking to make into law a version of the Patriot Act 2.0, but this time, the excuse is not terrorism, it's the Chinese.
America doesn't like competition with it's spy game so it is using this TikTok fiasco as an excuse to envade our right to privacy even more.
Allies from Australia to Taiwan and beyond are watching closely what happens and preparing to do the same.
We can not let this bill pass 🚫
