RESTRICT Act Could Imprison VPN Users For 20 Years, Ban Free Speech - The Internet 'PATRIOT ACT'

There's a new bill being proposed to address issues with TikTok called the RESTRICT Act. It was allegedly created to address the national security concerns with the Chinese application, but it's a trojan horse that destroys your rights on the internet just like the PATRIOT act did when it was supposedly passed to address "terrorism." The RESTRICT Act specifies that private citizens who use VPN could face 20 years in prison as they could be deemed a threat. Essentially it bans internet free speech, and could even eliminate cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. This is in lockstep with the lockdown of the internet in preparation for the Great Reset, digital ID and social credit. It's all connected and it's all coming fast and furious now. TikTok is a strawman.

The RESTRICT Act is not limited to just TikTok. It gives the government authority over all forms of communication domestic or abroad and grants powers to “enforce any mitigation measure to address any risk” to national security now and in any “potential future transaction”

So what happens if you are designated a national security threat? What can they access of yours to confirm it? Everything.
Notice the preemptive attack on quantum encryption in there, too.

It also allows the Director of National Intelligence and Secretary of Commerce the authority to universally designate new “Foreign Adversaries” without notifying congress and a 15 day window to notify the president. It also requires a joint resolution of Congress to overturn.

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.

After the federal government has detained you without due process to mitigate the “immediate threat” you pose, what kind of punishments await you in court? $1,000,000 fine, 20 years in prison and forfeiture of everything you own.

SOURC E

There are no words. This is not America anymore. And some people still can't see we're heading for full blown communism!

Now we know what Whinny AOC was subliminally referring to the other day when she talked about TikTok !!!

Very clever ☠️🤡

I'm not a TikTok user, so what is your complaint? A VPN has nothing to do with that unless you use TikTok and if you use both oh well. Or am I overlooking something?

Queted from the first paragraph:

Funny how that got in there...

Oh, you mean like it's been for a while now?

Then I will use TWO VPNs from now on. They'll never see it coming.

Digital ID. ITS HERE TO ONLY TO CONTROL OUR BEHAVIOR

NOW IF THEY ONLY PUT HUNTER BIDEN IN BARS FOR FALSIFYING GUN REGISTRATION.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TWO SETS OF RULES WITH THIS REGULATION TOO GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES EXCUSE NON-GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES GO TO JAIL.

From Strange Sounds:

Congress is preparing a bipartisan PATRIOT Act sequel to completely destroy the Internet as we know it… Highlights include allowing the feds to access any of your software or hardware, at any time, without any judicial oversight. Arbitrary designation of foreign parties as enemies, and anyone who communicated with them subject to up to a $1M fine. Anything subject to this bill is exempt from FOIA. Etc. This is a nightmare, but we know the NPCs are going to go along with it…

Here's the entire bill....

If this bill passes-and I bet it will-we'll be living like we're in China.

I bet you're firmly in the camp that believes as long as you have nothing to hide, and you're not doing anything wrong, what's the problem, right?

Close?

Wrong think getting you more time than murder rioting is ok as long as it's for the right side of the government and soon only government approved propaganda will be legal

In reality we knew this was coming the government dose not represent you they are your oppressor

To bad I think the ship sailed long ago on our ability to stop this there already in power history tells us what it takes to stop this once there already in power

Technically, we have had that for a while. It is called the FCC.

It is not supposed to regulate content like news broadcasts, but the wording in it's charter can be interpreted as rather nebulous...

"but the FCC’s legal authority is straightforward. Simply put, the FCC has the authority to interpret all provisions of the Communications Act, including amendments such as Section 230"

Before, they just had access to your stuff; with this, you could be imprisoned if you're lucky. Twenty years for using a VPN, period.

You could get Getmoed if they say you're a national security threat. Subverting US authority by using bitcoin or any action that hides your activities.

Tic Toc is only relevant as an example of something they disapprove of.

I've been saying it since 2008. We live in a communist country and nobody with the ability to do so aside from DJT has tried to reverse it.

The precipice is behind us.

You guys are really naive about the realities of cyberwarfare aren't you?

You have absolutely NO IDEA what's going on with the dark web, VPN's and the sale and production and trade of child abuse pornography, snuff videos to name a few and all other horrific stuff because you're too busy freaking out over MSM articles and minutia to the tune of "outrage of the day".

Do you have any idea how much illegal activity is going on under VPN's in clandestine channels online?

You think the grooming and sickness is just gender activists and drag queen storytime?

You really are sheltered.

Count your blessings.

So just because some sickos use VPNs for horrid crimes-everyone who uses a VPN should get 20years?
That seems crazy-there are many non crime uses of VPNs.

If a terrorist takes a bomb into a city on a public train-would it be OK to arrest all the regular commuters because they used the same train?

Seems irrational to me.

The government are telling people that privacy itself is a crime-and that is in the realm of a country like North Korea/China.

I have no need for a VPN and have no trouble online accessing the information I need worldwide.
