Protectionism in the US heading in an interesting direction as The US bans foreign made internet routers Which is particularly interesting because there aren't any US made internet routers really, certainly nothing like the number required for keeping all Americans online. Routers are mostly insecure due to company negligence with updates and bugs which has nothing to do with nationality of course. American companies are just as likely to fail to spot a buffer overflow or abandon customers when they discontinue a product. American companies aren't even less likely to want to spy on you and steal all your data and then be forced to give it up to government if they ask. Hard to see how this goes well for anyone. Except many the people certifying products that evade the ban. #routers #law #protectionism
