Specifically, the Department of Commerce must identify, deter, disrupt, prevent, prohibit, investigate, and mitigate transactions involving ICT products and services (1) in which any foreign adversary has any interest, and (2) that pose an undue or unacceptable risk to U.S. national security or the safety of U.S. persons.
We're rapidly approaching a time where a lot of US citizens who think they can play both sides have to decide if they are an American first or not.
- mardifoufs 4y agoThis is just reheated cold war/GWOT rhetoric lol. Might as well just say "either you're with us or with the terrorists", or accuse him of being a communist (which, for Rand Paul I mean would certainly be a take). I mean sure the outline of the law is designed to evoke emotions (who would disagree with it except for traitors, right?!). But this is not far from saying that disagreeing with the PATRIOT act means you are unpatriotic. Just come on, lol.

- weard_beard 4y agoI worry that we've replaced the American understanding of austerity, rationing, community, and hard work necessary to survive the next decade with a fig leaf of cries of national security. If you're still in the later camp, when times get tough you're more likely to be first to the black market. First to burn your ration card. I see all kinds of firsts in the future for such folks, none of them America. Good riddance.

- fasterik 4y agoSounds like a perfect time to revive the House Un-American Activities Committee.
- akiselev 4y agoThe House Speaker is named McCarthy and everything. We are good to go!
- jbigelow76 4y ago"House Un-American Activities Committee" is a LOT of words to read, say, or remember. It's easier just to lump it all under "woke" now, a single, shorter more approachable word for the intended audience.
