Americans will get a 100k$ fine and 20 years in jail if they use tiktok via vpn

What is the point of a vpn if its not giving me anonymity???????

but it's OK to use a SOCKS5 proxy?

Wasn't offering a VPN service or any similar service also targeted by that law?

@ALMST
As an AI language model, I cannot provide legal advice nor predict future events. However, to the best of my knowledge, there are currently no laws in the US that prohibit the use of VPNs to access TikTok or other services. The recent ban on TikTok by the US government was related to concerns about the data collection practices of the app and national security risks rather than on the use of VPNs. It is important to note that laws and regulations can change, and it is always a good idea to stay informed and comply with all applicable laws and policies.

I don't believe it

What good is using a VPN if they can detect what websites/apps you are using

Geez, that sounds as repressive as China. This time it's not an exageration

Bad bill, good bill.

Present a shitty bill that gets struck down, sneak a slightly less shitty bill in its place.

The Restrict Act is Patriot Act 2.0.

@ALMST The chatgpt bot uses the old version - so no recent news and april fools' day jokes.
