Dear John,
In our line of work vigilance is required to ensure any issue or bill we campaign for doesn’t evolve into something unintended and we especially watch for bait and switch tactics or bill naming that conceals or pretends to be advocating for the opposite result. ‘Build Back Better’ Anyone?
Our fight for the banning of Chinese Spy Apps, for instance, requires absolute precision and care to ensure strong limits on government intrusion and the preservation of civil liberties and constitutional protections for all Americans.
If these CCP owned apps were sold to a US firm, all spy capabilities were stripped from the coding, and an individual’s privacy could be guaranteed, we would support that effort and applaud these apps as a free speech platform.
We staunchly defend civil rights and have advocated for freedom of speech for 20 years. We understand the gravity and responsibility of calling for bans on social media platforms and it’s important to make a clear case and distinction as it relates to TikTok and the long list of CCP owned companies, applications, and products disguised as social media apps, but intentionally designed to gather intel from our military, government, and state officials and their staff.
To put it simply, TikTok is a weaponized social media platform hiding in plain sight.
We strongly believe in passing legislation to protect the privacy of users and prevent government, foreign nations, and corporations from spying on citizens.
Afterall, isn’t this why so many patriots abandoned social media platforms in favor app’s that provide freedom of speech combined with privacy protection? Isn’t this why so many Americans use encryption technology and VPN’s and other methods to protect their privacy?
‘The Restrict Act’, DISGUISED as a TikTok ban, is a VERY DANGEROUS Digital Patriots Act 2.0, a warrantless government surveillance authorization bill, that DWARFS in comparison to the powers authorized under the Patriot Act.
