You are making solid points on this! On one hand, the government shouldn't be making these decisions for people, on the other people are led astray if they TRUST government to behave like their parents.
It's also mightily selective to ignore the spying done across all the big tech media platforms.
It would be really interesting to interview Chris and Hamish over the cyber-privacy concerns of Substack! I think that overview is very much needed! :)
I was leaning on the side of having TikTok lie down so the RESTRICT Act would (hopefully) fade away, as the supposed main concern is "taken care of". But at the same time, I guess it doesn't stop other apps from popping up and being banned requiring an act like the RESTRICT Act from being passed.
Real privacy and security policies need to be passed, and if they're violated, they are fined a large percentage of REVENUE and/or a trade secret being made OPEN SOURCE
(like if OpenAI profits off copyright and you can't put the genie back in the bottle, and they're repeat offenders, a $10M fine with the backing of a trillion dollar company (Microsoft) won't matter where as making their LLM(s) open source).
That would be a larger punishment and make companies rethink if they'll take the chance.

The Babylon Bee did a great article on this, too. Their parody is spot-on "With TikTok Ban, Americans Now Only Being Spied On By Pentagon, Google, Facebook, Apple, Samsung, Doorbell, Toaster." https://cl.babylonbee.com/c/7/eyJhaSI6OTM0MDM5NzAsImUiOiJtd21AdGhlYXJ0b2ZkaWVzZWwuY29tIiwicmkiOiIxMzQzMDQ2MDMxIiwicnEiOiIwMi1iMjUwMjAtNzc4ZmQ2YmE5N2Y1NDc0NGE5ZTU3ZGYyY2I3MGI3ODEiLCJtIjpmYWxzZSwidWkiOiIiLCJ1biI6IiIsInUiOiJodHRwczovL2JhYnlsb25iZWUuY29tL25ld3Mvd2l0aC10aWt0b2stYmFuLWFtZXJpY2Fucy1ub3ctb25seS1iZWluZy1zcGllZC1vbi1ieS1wZW50YWdvbi1nb29nbGUtZmFjZWJvb2stYXBwbGUtc2Ftc3VuZy1kb29yYmVsbC10b2FzdGVyP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9VGhlJTIwQmFieWxvbiUyMEJlZSUyME5ld3NsZXR0ZXImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCJ9/UYdFqnhdNku37nPKotUD6A
Agreed!
Lol the IoT is wild.. doorbell, toasters, fridges, TV, baby monitors (to name a few) all still watching..
Hey Naomi!

Very well written. Agreed on all points.
