RESTRICT Act is one of the worst thing that could happen to the US right now.
It’s not about TikTok.

Don’t let the Trump circus distract the end game.
They want to ram it through.
Can this Restrict Act affect #Nostr?

Unconstitutional un-American, unethical, treasonous.
And yet somehow seems on par for the course. Telling innit.

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 🚫

💯 I’m in Australia and while the talk about TikTok bans here has so far been mostly limited to banning it on government owned devices, I do worry that if this gets passed in America then our government may try to broaden this to something similar to the RESTRICT Act.
The NSA already has unfettered access to all western telecommunications providers and social media platforms, they do not require the RESTRICT Act to facilitate this.
I agree the wording of the proposed legislation needs to be updated to include provisions for individuals, but this is very much about the threat posed by China.
govt. is the enemy to themselves
If it pass, other countries will follow 😵💫. Brazilian federal court will make it happen
This is why it's important for westen plebs to stop allowing themselves to be whipped up into an emotional and mindless anti-China frenzy. They are being played.
I've been saying this for years but nobody listens and nobody cares: the anti-China and anti-Russia propaganda in the west has nothing to do with Russia and china.
Western elites aren't manufacturing consent for a war with china, they are manufacturing consent for a war against the western pleb.
it has everything to do with Russia and China.
from a Russian perspective, the cold war never ended. Russia uses all means at its disposal to conduct cyber espionage, disinformation campaigns and to interfere with the democratic process. they will continue to do this and why wouldnt they? the US operates the same way towards the Russian state.
The Chinese leadership is the far more insidious actor here.
the CCP has been conducting their model of Unrestriced Warfare against the US and the West for decades. from forced technology transfer (FTT) and industrial espionage, to lawfare, Fentanyl manufacturing / importation, and cyber warfare.
regardless of the historical failings on the part of the US and the West, the CCP is by far the most significant adversary and the US must respond when a foreign nation threatens their citizens health, their economy, and national security.

this just another mechanism by which the US can raise the cost of hostile actions from their primary adversary.
