@thomasfuchs I remember Clipper chips. I can't tell if this is "just" an attempt to have a tariff-like plaything, a way to gather bribes from companies seeking to be an exception, or an attempt to force NSA-compromised hardware on consumers. All seem equally likely (and villainously stupid). I'm honestly (really) surprised this wasn't leaked/obvious in advance though. This isn't an administration known for keeping their mouths shut. I'm curious where this came from.
