Patriot Act on steroids: anti-TikTok Trojan horse for censorship, surveillance
This article is heavy on rhetoric and light on substance. What, specifically, in the RESTRICT&#x2F;DATA acts is doing surveillance or censorship things?<p>I don&#x27;t doubt that this is the case, I just want to know the actual contours of the law. This article had three linked Tweets, one of which is a political opinion, one of which is a video, and the last is a screenshot from the &quot;In General&quot; section of the bill. The &quot;In General&quot; section is not the actual law itself, it just describes what the law is intended to do.<p>The thread that the third tweet is a part of provides more information, but it&#x27;s still very hard to follow. For example, one of the tweets claims:<p>&gt; If you recall from before, “Foreign Individuals” can now also be US citizens that are deemed a national security threat. Once designated, the bill grants authority to enforce any action deemed necessary to mitigate the threat, with no due process and few limits on punishments.<p>This is very fucking scary! However, the associated images do not include anything that says US citizens. The only thing that would apply would be if a US citizen conspired with a designated foreign asset to violate... whatever is in this bill.<p>You need to present your information better, rather than just saying that something is bad and then handing a bunch of algebra to the reader to figure out.
