S.686 – Restrict Act – Internet Censorship and Surveillance Bill
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/686
What is everyone's thoughts on this bill? I am wracking my brain on how this fits constitutionally.
From what I gather:
• Authority is appointed by the President not voted on.
• What is deemed a national security risk and banned is up to that authority.
• Using VPN to evade bans will be 20 year minimum prison term and 250k - 1M fine.
• Allows unlimited warrantless surveillance on all internet connected devices including local area networks.
This seems like a massive surveillance and censorship bill that will be controlled by whomever is in office.
