New RESTRICT Act Could Mean 20 Years In Prison For Using A VPN To Access Banned Apps
Under the new Restrict Act ("ban TikTok act") VPN users face 20 years in jail and a $1mio fine if they evade US internet censorship.
After several failed attempts to ban the app from the U.S., the new RESTRICT Act, ostensibly targeting cyber-security threats, is being pushed by the same people that previously advocated banning TikTok. It has far-reaching consequences for social media and harsh punishments for violators.
The RESTRICT Act could, theoretically, be applied to everything from citizens, corporations, and organizations to labor unions. To be fair, the bill does clarify that anyone prosecuted under the act must be engaging in activities and using technology to harm the U.S. government.
