I’m assuming this is and will be a classic example of the “First they came for….” Quote where it goes through the list of ‘others’ that is not oneself then, at the end when the authority finally shows up to take the ‘you’ in the ‘oneself’, no one is left to defend you and thus you also go down.
They will aim to eliminate tiktok as, everyone in the us higher ups agree it has to go, but who will be next afterwards? If in the future, Facebook doesn’t bend its knee to shovel out state propaganda, will it too go?
The very scary part of the bill, if true, is the outright banning of VPNs.

This is exactly the issue that should be stressed repeatedly. When a firm advertises itself as such, that values customers' privacy,etc etc. There should not be any logs, espeically if they make it their number one selling-point.
Regarding illegle activities, if there is a will strong enough that warrents Powers that be to track down something, one way or another, it will happen. No matter, how much one deludes himself into a sense of security. The idiot in the article shoudln't have been posting shit in a fucking irc channel to begin with.
Pardon my english, am very tired and not my mother-language.
