The real reason Biden keeps talking about banning TikTok

[rolltide]

I thought it was odd that Joe Biden brings up tiktok in pretty much every speech these days but now it all makes sense. Let me introduce you to The Restrict Act

The Restrict Act, S 686, https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/686/text?s=1&r=15#:~:text=S. 686 To authorize the Secretary of Commerce,SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 7, 2023

In short it gives the Secretary of Commerce and the Director of National Intelligence complete authority over any web-based app with $1M or more users or former transactions. This includes your RING security system, your banking apps, online bookies, bitcoin transactions, VPN usage, and social media accounts. It is immune to FOIA requests and cannot be challenged in court. TikTok is just the ruse to give the govt total control over all forms of communication and unlimited authority to enforce anything deemed a risk. It also allows them to not only govern current and future transactions but also all PAST transactions

The DNI and SecComm can deem anyone or any company an "unacceptable risk" or "foreign adversary" and fine you $1M with a 20yr prison sentence for something as insignificant as using a VPN or paying with bitcoin. The intentionally vague definitions woven throughout the bill simply allows the feds to classify anyone they want as a security threat, foreign or domestic, and enact punishment with no due process and immune to FOIA. It is the Patriot Act on steroids and, of course, a bipartisan bill. A "covered transaction" clause is met on any app that you've checked the box that says you read and consented to the rules of the site/app/cyrpto/game/VPN. It even references The Patriot Act to explain that the term critical infrastructure is anything deemed critical by that Bush bullshit which includes your land line, cell phone, voicemail, email accounts, etc.

This is an incredibly deceptive bill so if you were wondering why Joe Biden keeps bringing up TikTok even though it's already banned on federal devices, now you know. The Restrict Act will replace the Bill of Rights with Terms of Service

Wow....Forwarding this around...Thanks for posting this...

remember The Patriot Act was signed in 2001 before most of our online activities were even invented. There were very few smartphones, certainly no heavily used apps, little social media, no Alexa, no RING devices, no chatGPT or AI, no personal drones, no VPNs, no SaaS services, little online banking, and neither Bitcoin nor crypto had been invented yet. So this serves as The Patriot Act for the digital age. It highlights the one thing you don't care about, TikTok, to allow the govt to control everything you do care about.

and believe me it leaves NOTHING out. If you access it through the internet or it connects to other devices then the govt controls it. This is North Korea level authorization to spy on you and put you in prison. Section 5 posted below tells you what this covers. It's fn nuts

They show us their agenda in plain sight, and yet some people STILL don't believe..

Lindsay Graham was asked about The Restrict Act and he said he has no idea what it is even though he's a co-sponsor of the bill.

However much u hate politicians, its not enough.

A growing body of evidence shows U.S. govt officials, agencies, & contractors demanding Facebook & Twitter censor ordinary Americans. Now, an influential censorship advocate has admitted that she worked for the CIA

Renee Diresta wrote the Senate Report on Russian bots. The New York Times later exposed her company for creating fake Russian bot accounts to sway an American election. In response, she was promoted to lead the Election Integrity Project and the Virality Project, where she mass-censored entire narratives on elections and COVID-19.
During the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church controlled what books could be published and what ideas could be expressed. In the 20th century, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union censored any speech or writing contradicting their ideology. The people in power have always sought to maintain their control by silencing the voices of those without power.
Renee Diresta, the Director of Research at a company caught running a disinformation campaign against the American people, is the perfect example of why the US government's censorship-industrial complex needs to be shut down.
