The bill to ban TikTok is absolutely terrifying. It gives the
government the ability to go after anyone they deem as a national
security risk at which point they can access everything from their
computer to video games to their ring light. This is a Patriot Act for
the internet.

Under the new Restrict Act ("ban TikTok act") VPN users face 20 years
in jail and a $1mio fine if they evade US internet censorship.
Compared to this, the great firewall of china looks like a picket
fence 😨 E.g. VPN are largely tolerated (used one for 7 years with no
issue).

Senate Bill 686, The Restrict Act, wants to put you in jail for 20
years for using a VPN for using a website or app is operated by a
“foreign adversaries.” These are the foreign adversaries btw
