The new S. 686: RESTRICT Act is a major blow to users in general and users should file to stop it.
I wrote the below a letter users should send to their senator to stop the latest bill
Subject: Concerned about the Proposed RESTRICT Act (S. 686)
Dear [Senator / Representative Name],
I am writing to express my serious concern about the recently proposed S. 686, also known as the Retaining Essential Security and Trust for All Network Technology (RESTRICT) Act. As a citizen and constituent, I believe that the proposed bill would have a negative impact on the technology industry and personal privacy rights.
I understand that the RESTRICT Act intends to prohibit the use of certain foreign-made communications technologies by government agencies and contractors. While the goal of safeguarding national security is laudable, I worry that certain provisions of the bill may have far-reaching and unintended consequences.
One of my primary concerns is the potential for the RESTRICT Act to stifle innovation in the technology industry. By limiting the adoption of foreign-made products, the bill could restrict competition and hinder the development of cutting-edge technologies. Additionally, the bill could harm the privacy rights of American citizens by requiring intrusive data collection and analysis.
In conclusion, I urge you to consider my concerns about the RESTRICT Act and its potential impact on the technology industry and personal privacy rights. I believe that a thoughtful and balanced approach is necessary to achieve the goal of safeguarding national security while protecting innovation and privacy.
Thank you for your time and attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
