First Amendment, the Privacy Act, and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.

I write to vehemently oppose H.R.7521 and similar legislation that jeopardizes fundamental rights, especially in light of recent decisions affecting public safety measures during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed restrictions on applications like TikTok and cuts to CDC mask mandates, coupled with limitations on social media use, raise concerns about an unwarranted infringement on our rights to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly. I urge you to reconsider the consequences of supporting legislation that may compromise our rights, particularly in the context of existing laws safeguarding these freedoms, such as the First Amendment, the Privacy Act, and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. In a time where online platforms play a crucial role in maintaining connections and facilitating expression, it is essential to preserve the democratic values that define our nation. I expect you to uphold our constitutional rights and stand against measures that erode the core principles of our democracy. Unless congress really doesn't care about democracy. We're watching.
