Unfortunately, Democrats and neoconservatives within the U.S. Senate could not help themselves from giving the federal government even more power through yet another piece of legislation. Senators John Thune (R-SD) and Mark Warner (D-VA) brought forth a bill called the RESTRICT Act, which would allow the United States government to create a digital Patriot Act that abuses American citizens’ privacy rights.
The Act would give ambiguous, abusive, and overreaching power to the federal government to oversee the communication of all US citizens, both abroad and at home. It would allow the Department of Commerce (DOC) and Director of National Intelligence to dignify foreign adversaries without congressional consent, allow a broad power of using “any mitigation measure to address any risk” the government decides is harmful to the country, and allow the DOC to forward vast amounts of private information to the FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, and DOJ without punishment or limits.
