Senator Warner’s RESTRICT Act Is Designed To Create The Great Firewall Of America

TL;DR

RESTRICT Act, mainly in the context of how it appeared to be kneejerk legislating in response to the moral panic around TikTok.  So, because China takes a dictatorial, authoritarian, illiberal approach to the internet, so must the US?It’s the worst kind of lawmaking: a severe overreaction to a potentially legitimate concern (though with little actual evidence to support the nature and scope of that concern), combined with a ridiculously powerful, likely unconstitutional bill that puts tremendous power in the hands of the administration with few limits (there is some ability for Congress to push back, but that’s unlikely to matter if the White House and Congress are on the same moral panic page). exact same playbook Twitter had the LAST time the Modi government made them censor people, including continuing the suit to stop it, was somehow Musk “gladly” caving to their demands? As if something about either Twitter’s options, or its actions had changed (it absolutely had not), and that meant Musk was a free speech hypocrite, for some reason? Definitely not that you hated him and were willing to say anything to badmouth him?Your email address will not be published
