a privacy-violating nightmare.  https://www.popsci.com/technology/tiktik-ban-problems/

terrifying. 
The bill is being framed as a way to crack down on TikTok because of its ties to China, but it’s way more broad than that. The RESTRICT Act would give the executive branch of the US government unprecedented authority to ban the use of entire apps or websites just by saying they pose a threat to national security.

This is like the Patriot Act, but for censorship instead of surveillance.

Critics say that if it becomes law, the RESTRICT Act bill could authorize broadly defined crackdowns on free speech and internet access.

any legislation that could curb free speech on the internet in the name of vague national security concerns makes no sense and sets dangerous precedent.

frighteningly "Orwellian."
