I've been in an ongoing debate with a lawyer friend over the applicability of the RESTRICT Act. His take is that the RESTRICT Act is only applicable to specific foreign adversaries and entities controlled/influenced by them. Mine is that the language surrounding the applicability is both nebulous enough to encompass more than that and allows for the government to change the scope unilaterally to apply anywhere as convenient. Are either of us correct or is the answer a bit more nuanced than that?
