A dangerous new bill called the RESTRICT Act (S.686) is gaining momentum in Congress, with support from Democrats and Republicans, and even the White House. The bill claims to address valid privacy and security concerns with TikTok. But this is about so much more than just TikTok. RESTRICT gives Biden (and all future presidents!) extraordinary new powers to ban Americans from using entire apps simply by claiming they pose a “threat to national security,” outside of any democratic process. Politicians are pushing this bill to show how “tough on China,” they are, but instead of protecting us they’re pushing for an Internet policed by the government––just like the Internet is in China.

Sign the petition to tell Congress and President Biden: “Stop the RESTRICT Act and any other bill that restricts my First Amendment right to use the apps I choose. If you really care about security, pass a national data privacy law to protect users from exploitative big tech companies!”
