    Oh but all the US hardware with spyware from the NSA/FBI is just fiiiiiiiiiine.

    As always US wants the data, they just don’t want anyone else to have it.

    It’s also a laugh for them to say “fuck you consumers you don’t get to” when the federal government already fucking blew it with SolarWinds.

    Personal opinion this is much ado about nothing. In other words this article is baseless fear-mongering.

    Trump is a bigger national security concern than fucking TP-Link and no one in power is seriously talking about removing him.

    His economic moves will devalue the US Dollar and put it at risk as a reserve currency. Who is gonna step in? China.

    But boo hoo, we should ban TP-Link! What a fucking joke. If you’re really “worried” about China, get rid of Trump yesterday.

      As always US wants the data, they just don’t want anyone else to have it for free

      I guarantee you that American data is going to Chinese companies. Temu has your data. Alibaba has your data. Bilibili has your data. They’re just getting it by purchasing from American data centers.

      There is an abstract ironic beauty to this.

      Three separate government departments are investigating TP-Link, so someone either tipped the Fed off and you (and the public) know nothing, or this is simply a witch hunt.

      Since I know for a fact I can’t trust anyone commenting anywhere on the internet as a credible source, I’m hoping those departments who once were independent of the Executive control and free of Trump corruption and are now filled with human excrement yes-men MAGA regarded morons, i will hold my anger until we know more.

        It looks just like the Tik Tok ban to me. Racist/Nationalist nonsense that doesn’t solve the actual underlying problem, which is lack of regulation in the US

        The US government has something of a credibility crisis, doesn’t it? (And I don’t think it started with Trump, though he makes it worse.)

      Yeah, it boils down to… who do you want seeing your data?

      The Chinese? or the Americans?
