I agree with Rand Paul on this.
If the GOP allows passage, they’ll be out of power for a generation.
Worse than the Patriot Act.
Bill written after extensive “consultation with the Intelligence Community” I’m sure.
The book “1984” is now applicable to 2023:
O’Brien to Winston: You used a VPN to try and peddle disinformation but still got caught.
Winston: It wasn’t disinformation...it was the truth.
O’Brien: Truth? How many genders are there, Winston? Whom are we at war with, Winston? Say that the riot was a “peaceful protest,” Winston.

Lindsey Graham tells @JesseBWatters that he had no idea what is in the Restrict Act, Patriot Act 2.0 that gives the government broad power to spy on Americans, despite the fact that he is listed as a co-sponsor of the bill.
aLL o0f the following voted for the bill evidently
Sen. Thune, John [R-SD]*
Sen. Fischer, Deb [R-NE]*
Sen. Moran, Jerry [R-KS]*
Sen. Sullivan, Dan [R-AK]*
Sen. Collins, Susan M. [R-ME]*
Sen. Romney, Mitt [R-UT]*

Sen. Cramer, Kevin [R-ND]
Sen. Grassley, Chuck [R-IA]
Sen. Tillis, Thomas [R-NC]
Sen. Graham, Lindsey [R-SC]
Find out who crafted this bill... these are the evil people behind much of the misery our country is facing. And I don’t mean the ‘elected officials’ who have their names on it... I mean the ‘behind the scenes’ folks.
It doesn't really have anything to do with TikTok (I was wondering why when I first heard about it why our Senate was turning on their Chinese Masters) What it really is is the complete destruction of privacy and the First Amendment.
To boil it down to its essence:
If you use an electronic device to communicate ANYTHING that our rulers (elected, appointed or bureaucrats) don't like, they can throw you in prison for 20 years and fine you $1,000,000.00 WITHOUT TRIAL.
And "AI" will continuously monitor the entire electronic spectrum for 'wrong-think". What they intend makes what the NSA , FBI. CIA (and Google) have been doing so far look like no more than a milder version of "Mrs. Kravitz" looking out the window at the Steven's house in the old Bewitched tv series.
someone posted the Jesse Watters interrogation of Lindsey Graham on the subject today. Graham looks terrified at being caught up as a co-sponsor.
It starts at the 10 minute Mark!
