Senate Bill 686, also known as the RESTRICT Act, is a proposed law that would criminalize American-run websites, platforms, and blogs that merely disagree with the government regime on any topic. The bill would allow the government to enforce any mitigation measure against any person or property by deeming that an article, video, podcast, platform or other content item contains content they don’t like. This bill has the potential to be weaponized, as it can be applied to anything deemed to be in the “national security interest” of the United States.
