Strange as how they are "so concerned now" about TikTock but had NO concerns over the people in congress or the government with connections to China and the ccp nor the multitudes of spies within those agencies and universities. As the article states it is only about controlling the info and speech just as the patriot act was about spying and tracking Americans

Exactly right! TikTok is being used as a scape goat. Don't misunderstand, TikTok is definitely a national security concern, because of information gathering, NOT because of anything to do with elections.

The FBI did more election meddling with Twitter than any other platform, but there's no worry there.

It's just another example of congress publicly talking about one issue, then crafting legislation for an entirely different purpose. Just like The Patriot Act. The Patriot Act was properly named, because it was used to spy on patriots.

The RESTRICT Act, will be used to "restrict" free speech. That is speech that is not "state approved."
