Fail to compete with China on innovation, just ban them on nation security!🥵
read up on Volt Typhoon and then tell me you want western countries outfitted with PRC infrastructure
Every countries hacks each other! Welcome to life!
The USA even hacks it’s so called allies or vassal countries!
Every country tries to hack each other. Doesn’t mean we should make it easy for them.
I guess you are not using windows, MacOS or Linux?
You are using openBSD in text mode?
I mean, similar to that argument, I’m not using Chinese software/hardware, so at least I’m doing something?
The only guarantee for privacy is to not be online at all, but that ship has sailed for all of us
Please check where your electronic device is made!
Either South Korea or Vietnam! Not China, surprisingly!
Yeah, what you’re doing is making it easy for US government to spy on you.
Why OpenBSD in particular? I am also curious what is wrong with Linux?
OpenBSD has the best security features!
Kind of hard to learn it
Volt Typhoon
Is it worst than Israel’s cyber groups, which the US supports?
At least they are democracy. When one is a democracy one does not need to self examine
is the US a democracy? I think that modern democracy is an illusion… vote dem or rep and you get the same result… vote anything else and you can be sure that your vote doesn’t count
“oh no! hackers learned how to hack in… public universities! The horror of PRC-sponsored hacking!”
what a dumb comment. Volt Typhoon have been discovered in critical infrastructure—not universities—across the world using lotl techniques. they are a group not hacking for espionage but hacking to directly sabotage their targets… i.e. shutting down electricity grids, telecommunications, water, etc.
also, they are not “PRC-sponsored”, they are the PRC, more specifically the PLA.

Says allegations 🤐
I don’t want western countries outfitted with NSA/FBI/CIA infrastructure but here we are lol
It’s pretty hilarious how the west keeps walling themselves off from the rest of the world.
China: makes 5g infara and full set of bands for compliant phones
USA: Bans Chinese phones
USA: Makes half assed 5g infara so the megacorp ISPs can market the crap out of it
USA: Sells incomplete 5g band phones with horrendous compliancy and support for 5g towers
USA: “why would China do dis? We must ban them from 6g!”
It’s nice that we finally have a global standard that works everywhere so when you’re abroad you don’t need to buy a local cellphone anymore. If it fragments again, many countries in asia and africa might go with chinese 6g for cost reason and fragment the world again.
