How can we peacefully protest and challenge this? I really REALLY hope this doesn’t come to pass.

Force everyone around you to immediately contact their representative and doing it on a very repeated basis.

Read the act, it only applies to people using s VPN to access a restricted service in the name of committing some other crime basically, the wording is vague enough that it could apply to anyone using TikTok through a vpn but that would be a lot of work to prosecute something so little, it isn't meant for individuals

That's what I'm saying. How do you track and / or inforce the no VPN thing? Our government isn't really known for being "tech savvy." I don't think they'll be able to truly inforce it imo. Plus, stuff like this gets challenged and revoked afterward due to constructional rights conflict with said act

Because if the government blocks something, they don't appreciate you accessing it anyway.

It's for your own good.

Yes, but they use the China like censorship law to stop the China oriented app that uses spyware. Idk which is worse at this point :/
