I'm all for keeping our mobile networks safe, but this bill just doesn't sit right with me. It feels like it's missing the mark on some key issues. We need to make sure we're protecting our data and privacy without sacrificing our freedom. Let's keep pushing for better solutions. #CybersecurityMatters #ProtectOurPrivacy
