RESTRICT Act  Is this about banning Tik Tok or ....... ?

On today's episode of You Need to Know, we'll be discussing a new bill in Congress that has been making headlines recently but not nearly enough. The bill is called the Restricting the Emergence of Security Threats that Risk Information and Communications Technology Act, or the RESTRICT Act for short. 

Is the RESTRICT Act the Patriot Act 2.0 for the internet?

Does it give unelected bureaucrats by the Department of Commerce unfettered access to all the data on our computers, phones, security cameras, internet browsing history and payment applications?

In a special update to our You Need to Know show on CBDCs.   Florida Governor Ron DeSantis proposes legislation to ban Central Bank Digital Currency/CBDCs in the state of Florida.   
“The Biden administration’s efforts to inject a Centralized Bank Digital Currency is about surveillance and control,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Today’s announcement will protect Florida consumers and businesses from the reckless adoption of a ‘centralized digital dollar’ which will stifle innovation and promote government-sanctioned surveillance. Florida will not side with economic central planners; we will not adopt policies that threaten personal economic freedom and security.”

“What a central bank digital currency is all about is surveilling Americans and controlling Americans,” he said. “You're opening up a major can of worms, and you're handing a central bank huge, huge amounts of power, and they will use that power.”
