In its short 6 year lifespan Beijing based company Bytedance's Tik Tok has surpassed google.com with well over 2 billion downloads worldwide. From the outset, the Chinese Algorithm Source code had been collecting the habits and inner intent of every single user. Building a psychological profile of each user while addicting them to content promoting self harm by catering to their preferences and habits. Most of them children.
Meanwhile, privacy policy moderators and employees answering directly to the Chinese Communist Party have access to private chats and all collected personal information. Four Employees at Bytedance were fired in 2022 for doxing journalists sensitive information and ip addresses.
And as Russia and China unite to bring an end to the global institution of the American dollar. Russia banned all silicon valley social media, while utilizing Tik Tok to wall off Russian citizens from the outside world.
Lurking under the surface of the seemingly most bipartisan committee in Congress addressing the Tik Tok distraction lies Communist level legislation like the Restrict Act for example. Authorizing the secretary of commerce to review and prohibit certain transactions between persons in the U.S. and foreign adversaries,investigating tech products and services that could pose national security risks. The Restrict Bill would allow "Any software, hardware, or any other product or service integral to the telecommunications products and services" with over 1,000,000 users would now be at the governments disposal to review, prosecute, and take possession of. Including your home security system. The Federal Government could review all of your personal information without notification. Banning any game, application, or thing they deem fit if it "poses a risk".
Using a VPN carries up to 20 years in prison AND/OR up to $1,000,000 in fines. The final death knell to Free speech on the internet.
This new horizon of the collection of personal data has been seeping into company and client and employee relationships for years, emboldening the totalitarian landscape.
Any fool still using the mass mind controlling Tik Tok is merely a rat in a Totalitarian cage. Under the boot of a rabid hydra of propaganda growing in power every day as technocrats reach the coming singularity of AI. Personal data sacrificed at the alter of the Communist party and the global psyop Eugenic engineers.

The RESTRICT Act that passed the GOP House and Senate is going to Biden for signature.
Because our side is so stupid, we have just created a new Patriot Act for online discourse.
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”
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.
Here is the bill for anyone that wants to read it.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/686?s=1&r=25
How is this bill not a violation of the Bill of Rights?
By the time a case is brought and it gets before the SCOTUS, it will be too late. Just like the Patriot Act, this will be misused to shut down dissent.
Bill #s686 is #NetNeutrality all over again. They want to suppress our freedom of speech + ability to organize/ share information.
Except this time they want to fine you or possibly put you in prison for up to 20 years for.. gasp! Using an app!
It does not specify an app or just apps. It is anything posted online via any means.
It is a way for the federal gov't to shut down whatever they want......Twitter will be one of the first.
Given all that is happening, I expect a digital currency to be next.
This is some Chinese commie level restrictions...Biden will surely sign it. And to think brought to you but the gop house... Whats the saying hoisted by our own petard?
Just like the Patriot Act.
It's over folks. We could not keep our Republic.
The Democrats and the Deep State are in continual war with the Constitution. Open discourse of the hoi polloi is the biggest threat they have ever experienced. They have tried every means to shut it down since 2016.
It is not just the SCOTUS, it is our entire elected class. They do not understand these issues nor how the digital landscape works. They go along with whatever the left writes into the legislation without comprehending the consequences because the staff working for our side are not ideological.
AOC said that Tik Tok should not be banned because all the clocks would stop.
A back or side door to implement their butt ugly evil misinformation/disinformation bullshit.
Tyranny on steroids.
I need a VPN, preferably free, to run on my IPad when I do some things. I don’t want some sites to know who and where I am from. No I’m not lookin at Porn.
Anyway anyone have suggestions or recommendations on an IPad?
