I am no legal expert so this is at least what I've got reading the bill and some other takes on it. Any suggestions/changes are welcomed!

im still trying to figure out the bill as of now, i'll probably break down my opinions on it into sections (such as section 1, section 2 of the bill, etc)

Has anyone else here actually read through S.686 - RESTRICT Act (aka "The TikTok Ban")? I've spent the last few hours going through this purposed legislation and it's BAD news. If any one has any additional information/takes on it please let me know, this looks like it could have some really negative implications for the US's digital liberties.

I'm not a legal expert so it's a little difficult making sense of this all, but from my understanding it gives the Secretary of Commerce the power to ban apps, websites, even online games. Media keeps only talking about TikTok but never the actual contents (or even name!) of this bill, it has uniparty/White House support too.

I want to hope this is a nothing burger but it strikes me as something far more serious/sinister than the propaganda is making it out to be https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/686

You mean to tell me they earmarked a bunch of things into a bill that has one good thing going for it? And that one good thing was used to get people in support of the bill while they didn't talk about any of the bill's other propositions? How evil!

im hoping its just a nothing burger. im gonna read through it and probably write something on my thoughts of it. if its got a bunch of other bad things mixed in a bill, it wouldn't surprise me but I am hoping not especially with it being a TikTok ban too.

If they can start banning apps, websites, online games, etc then this definitely isn't good. To think I might end up not being for a TikTok ban but because they're gonna gain a ton of power to ban other shit. If this is the case, this aint good

dc-blog please let me know your thoughts on it or link the page you post them on. if this has realistic potential to cause serious damage then it may be worth getting the word out.

@dc-blog feel free to check out this Agora Road thread on it as well, I shared my initial thoughts after reading through it and there were some well thought out replies/perspectives https://forum.agoraroad.com/index.php?threads/bill-to-ban-tiktok.5169/post-69333

Not sure if this is a neocities first, but enjoy some lost Ryuichi Sakamoto media at the bottom of this update. His "Asian Flowers" album isn't easy to come by.
