US senators unveil the bipartisan RESTRICT Act to let the US ban foreign-linked app and hardware makers the Commerce Department deems a national security risk
the bill he and other lawmakers are introducing today that could lead to a TikTok ban — will also allow the Commerce Dept. to take action on suspected foreign spying risks in AI, fintech, quantum computing and e-commerce. Brian Fung / @b_fung : Warner caveats: “Our beef here is with the Communist Party of China. It is not with the Chinese people; it is not with the Chinese diaspora. It is sure as heck not with Chinese Americans. And failure to make that point, frankly, plays into” Chinese propaganda. Brian Fung / @b_fung : And the White House is throwing its support behind the RESTRICT Act, calling it “a systematic framework for addressing technology-based threats to the security and safety of Americans.” https://twitter.com/...

While we're going hardcore on TikTok regulations, how about NO American data flowing through China for ANY social media company?! No letting Facebook, IG, Twitter or anyone else off the hook for data security and privacy in whatever ends up happening. https://twitter.com/...

There's a reason the White House supports this legislation. They don't want to ban TikTok. This bill gives them a gigantic loophole to avoid doing so. https://www.whitehouse.gov/...

In addition to TikTok, Sen. Warner says the RESTRICT Act — the bill he and other lawmakers are introducing today that could lead to a TikTok ban — will also allow the Commerce Dept. to take action on suspected foreign spying risks in AI, fintech, quantum computing and e-commerce.
