I have no source for the Bill. I am very against anything Biden is for. All my hairs are up on this bill. What stops this from being a poison pill for us?

It is a poison pill, it’s the PATRIOT Act on bath salts and will completely destroy the internet as we know it with massive censorship.

What’s in it for the Biden Administration? Cracking down on free speech? Zuckerberg controls Facebook and Instagram. They’re working on a plan to contain Elon Musk.

The bill is the RESTRICT Act. It is tyranny on steroids. It MUST NOT PASS. It is Senate bill S 686.

Tik Tok needs to be banned or tightly controlled, but S 686 injects tyranny upon almost all applications. Use of a VPN or encrypted communications could get you 20 years in federal prison if it passes.

I watched Tucker tonight. I think he spotted a new strategy to take care of those who oppose the Marxist agenda: eliminate the opposing web platforms.

There are already legal authorities on the books that ban suspect foreign companies and products.

Yep, it would be the Patriot Act for the internet.
