According to a preliminary and very quick legal analysis the Act can be used to charge USA citizens and any company operating in the USA (even non-USA companies, of course) with civil and criminal liability for using Tor, VPN, proxy services, Bitcoin and various open source tools which facilitate encrypted communications to bypass any kind of censorship. Apparently, the language picked for the Act allows to enlarge and broaden the scope of the Act at will. Should the Act be approved as it is, and should the will to enforce it in the broader sense is strong, it is possible that there is no future for the Tor Project and consumers VPN in the USA, if not underground. Simply accessing the Bitcoin blockchain to transfer coins may be easily included as a forbidden action by the Act scope.
We underline that all of the above is based on a preliminary legal analysis, which may change after more thorough examination. Sources. Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RESTRICT_Act Vice: https://vice.com/en/article/4a3ddb/restrict-act-insanely-broad-ban-tiktok-vpns
