When will people ever learn that if you give the government a centimeter, they will go a million miles?

The Biden administration told ByteDance to sell TikTok to a U.S. owner. If it doesn’t, then America will ban TikTok on everything.

Oh, Congress quickly jumped on those threats!

The Senate boasts that the Restricting the Emergence of Security Threats that Risk Information and Communications Technology (“RESTRICT”) Act targets China’s TikTok.

Then why doesn’t the bill name TikTok?

That’s because it includes all forms of communication, mainly technology from China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela.

It's basically the internet version of the "patriot" act from my understanding. It WILL be used to do more invasive spying on US citizens.
