The Importance of Critical Scrutiny in the Face of the Chinese Threat

Rumbel: We're at the point now where we trust government officials to ban entire social media apps from being used by Americans on our soil. I hope that in all future cases where we hear that certain powers and certain laws are necessary, even if you're convinced that we're destined for some kind of decades-long confrontation with China, that you think carefully and critically about whether that power is really necessary or what kinds of abuses it can foster. The discourse already surrounding this bill is woefully inadequate for doing that.
