The RESTRICT act (S. 686 - The “TikTok ban”) is a hot mess and I cannot support it in any fashion. Trojan horse with a dramatic impact on privacy and freedom of speech. 100% not good. Go read it. #RESTRICTAct #privacy #FreeSpeech #surveillance #tiktok #vpn #crypto
Call your representatives to oppose the RESTRICT Act. While it's described as a ban on #TikTok, the bill actually gives the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security authority to execute blanket bans on software and hardware. And using a #VPN to circumvent the ban could bring a fine of $1 million or 20 years in prison.

#China isn't doing anything with #TikTok that the #US isn't doing with #Facebook and #Twitter. Why is nobody mentioning the levels of #surveillance the US conducts on their own citizens? This is #gaslighting, pure and simple. The #Democrats AND the #Republicans AND the #President are guilty of it.

#VPN Users Could Face Decades in Jail Under New #RESTRICTAct | beincrypto.com
S. 686, also known as the RESTRICT Act, is about WAY more than TikTok. It leaves WIDE authority for the U.S. government to monitor, control and force the handing over of private data.
Among many other issues, it mentions fines and prison time for things like using VPNs, which is insane.
There's a lot in it to unpack. Just please, stay informed, and call your congresspeople if you can.
RESIST this dangerous garbage.
#RESTRICTAct #NoToRESTRICTAct #TikTok #privacy #security #surveillance #VPN #VPNs #s686



The misguided push to ban #TikTok instead of establishing robust #Privacy protections has now resulted in a broadly written piece of legislation that threatens all foreign contributors to the internet including #VPN
“As written, the broad language in the #RESTRICT Act could criminalize the use of a VPN, significantly impacting access to security tools and other applications that vulnerable people rely on for privacy and security.”
https://www.vice.com/en/article/4a3ddb/restrict-act-insanely-broad-ban-tiktok-vpns
@Popehat The ban TicToc bill would effectively ban VPNs as well as other nasty side effects like the ability to squash opinions that are contrary to those in power. #VPN #CivilRights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xudlYSLFls8
While I get that having state actors (from ANY government) control and influence a social media platform, turning someone into an instant felon because they chose to use a VPN to access a social media site is ridiculously heavy handed.
Yet, that’s exactly what the Senate wants to do with #S686, the #RESTRICT act with a 20 year prison sentence, too, just for accessing #tiktok through a #VPN.

One of this app's several protocols is #WíreGuard, which seems to be default. Otoh #KDEPlasma's #NetworkManager afaik has no ootb WG support, so i suspect with this app, NM gets confused.

🔓 RESTRICT ACT: Is This Purely A Tool To Ban Tiktok, Or Door To Create USA "Great Firewall?"
Reaction video with first impression interpretation.
Would love to know what others think about this legislation! 🤔
#Blog #tiktok #USA #privacy #News #Law #Legislation #RestrictAct #apps #surveillance #VPN
Due to privacy, I don't insert a SIM card in my throw away phone. My phone is more or less a brick without WiFi. To mitigate this I connect to free WiFi for non-sensitive communications with a VPN. Yes, I also understand IMEI catchers before someone asks.
Most WiFi spots will ask for an e-mail address. I've started using BloodFart@gmail.com as my log-in e-mail. It works. I've stated to chronicle this, and I'm taking a certain level of joy in doing so.
Exhibit I:

Under the new Restrict Act ("ban TikTok act") VPN users face 20 years in jail and a $1M fine if they evade US internet censorship.
Compared to this, the great firewall of #china looks like a picket fence 😨 E.g. VPN are largely tolerated (used one for 7 years with no issue).

Some of you know that i own a couple of GL-AXT1800 for my home with a maximum vpn speed of 550 mbps (thanks network balancing) it can be more if done correctly on both of them (and your network support it), with a @mullvadnet subscription to be protected from my evil ISP.
So i've bough a GL-A1300 (with a maximum speed of 170Mbps) but with a lower consumption (and free wifi always slower than that anyway).
But it help me to use it on my powerbank, and the lower consumption that let me room to add a 5G router later.
But for now it will help me to remain behind my VPN everywhere (evil ISP are everywhere here you know), and increase my phone battery life by not using VPN on it anymore (nor trust the Phone OS to actually not bypass/leak data outside of the VPN).

Keen to try it, but wary coz of the killswitch PITA b4. Anyone, pls?

I think, I should call all of you guys out.
STOP and DON'T:
- don't buy #vpn since it doesn't cares and aren't focused on your #privacy. You better checkout #spn by Safing -> https://safing.io/spn
- don't use #protonmail or ANY other email service - I mean, you better selfhost your own one (as well as I do).
- don't use #CloudFlare since it against #privacy
That's it. Make sure to follow those requirements :-)
@tlenewspodcast
A #VPN can let you access region-blocked content, can help you get better deals on flights, and if your ISP explicitly spies on you and logs your browsing activity, it hides it from them.
That's it.

Nah, I prefer to use #SPN instead -> https://safing.io
The last several weeks I've had to keep constantly switching #NordVPN servers to sustain significant activity on my phone, and I've just had enough of it now, so the last few days relied on my backup #RiseupVPN free option, with a single server over in Paris, France (lol) but it's *flying* and I've been using the web and apps loading without stalling interruptions. Only a temporary fix, of course. Will probably switch to #Surfshark when my #VPN renewal comes up. No idea why Nord deteriorated so much in recent months.
