Wanna know why you may soon lose your legal right to use a VPN?

Stop the Restrict Act and Pass Real Privacy Legislation

Under the guise of curbing data collection by foreign governments, the RESTRICT Act (Senate Bill 686) would set the stage for a restriction on the use of TikTok, but not do nearly enough to truly protect our private information. Due to undefined mitigation measures coupled with a vague enforcement provision, the bill could also criminalize common practices like using a VPN or side-loading to install a prohibited app.

The RESTRICT Act (Senate Bill 686) seems simple. Who wouldn't want to stop foreign governments from collecting their personal information through apps like TikTok? But the way the law is written is unclear and could end up making it illegal for us to use VPNs and other #privacy-enhancing tools.

You read that right. This could CRIMINALIZE the use of a VPN! Don't let more of your freedoms get stripped. #NoTo686 #RESTRICTACT #PrivacyMatters #PrivacyConcerns #PrivacyControl

Trying to pass off warrantless surveillance again, this time under the guise of protecting us from TikTok. Sections 4 & 5 which covers all electronics made in China and pretty much all cloud providers and saas platforms at investigators own discretion. #noTo686 https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/686/text?s=1&r=15&trk=feed-detail_comments-list_comment-text
