Publicado na VICE EUA: A lei RESTRICT ‘Insanamente ampla’ pode banir muito mais do que apenas o TikTok. Especialistas em direitos digitais disseram ao Motherboard que a Lei RESTRICT, que pode ser usada para banir o TikTok, também pode impactar muitos outros tipos de serviços, incluindo VPNs.
"The bill’s language includes vague terms such as “desktop applications,” “mobile applications,” “gaming applications,” “payment applications,” and “web-based applications.” It also targets applicable software that has more than 1 million users in the U.S.
“The RESTRICT Act could lead to apps and other ICT services with connections to certain foreign countries being banned in the United States. Any bill that would allow the US government to ban an online service that facilitates Americans' speech raises serious First Amendment concerns,” Caitlin Vogus, deputy director of the Center for Democracy & Technology’s Free Expression Project, told Motherboard in an emailed statement. “In addition, while bills like the RESTRICT Act may be motivated by legitimate privacy concerns, banning ICT services with connections to foreign countries would not necessarily help protect Americans' privacy. Those countries may still obtain data through other means, like by purchasing it from private data brokers.”_"
